This is what some do not grasp. There are too many deer in Arlington for the available food and not enough natural predators to keep the ecosystem in balance. Reducing the deer herd size to a level that keeps the ecosystem in balance is important.


+1. In Long Island, they cull the deer population and donate the venison meat to soup kitchens. Deer chili. It works.


They do that here too. Great program.

But deer are ok to cull because they are "lesser" beings?


Yeah, that about sums it up. Funny how being higher up the food chain is a win.

Yes, I'd rather kill the deer than humans be killed by them with the many accidents they cause. This shouldn't be controversial.

A buck rammed my car and almost flipped it over. Another instance a deer jumped over my car. It was on a hill beside the sunken road I was driving along

Both were extremely scary situations

Without natural predators, the population has to be controlled by man.


THAT IS A BARBARIC AND CRUEL SUGGESTION!


Ah yeah, the bleeding heart who would rather they die a slow and agonizing death of starvation.

It’s also not true. Nature can take care of itself
