*Well this was a fine post to read on this blessed day. Your answer to resolving the deer overpopulation problem is to control HUMAN population?! Your remarks sound similar to Nancy Pelosi’s (paraphrasing here) “using birth control will solve our financial crisis”.
So thanks Jeff. Happy Mother’s Day to you and yours.
You’re welcome Heather. Now please go back and re-read what I said, think a little, and stop using the emotional argument, which as I pointed out before, is weak. We as humans ARE a bit overpopulated. We are quickly outpacing food production, outpacing the amount of available fresh water, and outpacing livable land. Simple fact.
We as a species are NOT immune to the effects of overpopulation, just as the Deer, and every other species is not immune.
And Yes, I did call my mother to wish her a Happy Mother’s Day.
