Not sure where you live, but Fairfax County does have a Deer Management Program. It was pretty disconcerting the first time I saw the hunters in the park behind my house!

Montgomery County has one too.

DC deer are managed via sharpshooters in the National Parks. https://www.nps.gov/rocr/learn/management/white-tailed-deer-management.htm#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20Deer%20Management,affecting%20the%20environment%20is%20made.

There's not really any area nearby where animal rights folks have prevented culling afaik.

A looming souce of grief for me in Arlington. They plan to kill nearly half the deer.
County staff developed plan with White Buffalo. Guess who got the contract to shoot them? Right you are.

So you'd rather them die slowly of starvation? You're such an amazing human.

Or kill people by running into traffic. I'll take some dead deer for alive humans.

Plus I'm tired of the damage they do to cars. A deer encounter totaled our car in 2022.

You moved into THEIR neighborhood.

This is barbaric and a violation of cruelty to animal laws.

In Germany this is forbidden completely. Because this is cruel.

You know humans eat mammals, right?

I gather you haven't heard of Arlington county.

https://www.arlnow.com/2025/03/10/arlington-deer-culling-efforts-come-with-151k-price-tag-in-budget-proposal/

That is a link detailing Arlington county's deer culling efforts. It is not a link to animal rights folks preventing deer culling.

Arlington has been blocked for years by citizen groups. Hopefully, Arlington will finally get to start culling this winter.

Be sure to tell your kids every time they see 2 deer one is going to be shot because they eat vegetation. Plants over mammals! Way to go.

Would you choose the Bear over the deer? (after this I am not so sure).
