The dear in that area are a danger to motorists, but I guess a robust deer population is more important than human safety. Fools. I look forward to hearing that this suit is tossed and the herd reduced.
The people bringing these suits have classic tunnel vision - they see one piece of a situation and that piece taken in isolation leads them to a *wrong* conclusion. Valley Forge Park is a great and wonderful blessing to many people and preserves so much of the beauty of nature. However, without a doubt, we humans have clearly and obviously tipped the scales in favor of the deer. We have by tearing down so much other forest and clearing fields, removed other predators. The deer *are* overpopulated and it is not preserving nature to allow them to proliferate at increasing danger to people. Why do so called preservationists who seem to know so much about the environment not realize these ecological realities? Please, this is an obvious win-win for everyone. Trim the overpopulated heard, protect motorists, give some people jobs, send the venison to understocked food pantries.
Let's raise our taxes again and put a fence around the whole park and make it a freakin' zoo.
George Washington didn't have a car to run into a deer and kill or injure himself...Bite that Animal Rites
I love animals as much as any one else, but there are sooooo many deer out there that the herd definitely needs to be cut back. What's more important, the deer or a car that hits one on say 422 going 55 MPH with kids in it that may get injured or even killed by the impact.
Let's use a little common sense here folks!
this is a direct result of the NPS not taking ANY postiive action over the past years. They sat on this issue, and could have introduced more humane birth control methods. But typicall in government...excess is the norm so let's "kill'em all" and of course this appeals to the PA Deerhunter mentality
These no nothing do gooders with no knowledge of what they speak of should mind their own business or learn something about what they are protesting. If they truly cared about the deer they would want them to be taken out this way, they will over populate and die of starvation, and disease. A certain piece of land has what is called a "carrying capacity", on that is exceeded the entire ecosystem of that land suffers. The tree's and plants will be over browsed, the animal will starve and become ill, and they will all eventually die off. They need more room or less deer it is that simple, get over the bambi syndrome and grow up!
"birth control"....Please. Deer are simply bigger, cuter rats. Idiots ought to care as much for the humans living in parks.
Yes, they plan to shoot the deer in the winter, when many of them will starve to death for lack of food, since they've eaten most of the new vegetation. So, do the gooders prefer a quick death or slow starvation?
True friends of animals understand that the deer population is out of balance. Let the sharpshooting begin.
Federal court....that means a total waste of my TAXPAYER $!!!!!!!!
I've had it with the bleeding hearts interfering with this issue. Find another cause to rant about!
GIVE ME A BREAK. SCREAMIN' LIBERALS
Kooks.
Let's hope the judge has balls and slaps these groups with sanctions after the case is dismissed. Any first year law student knows these cases will not go anywhere.
I take it they are not pro choice.
I'm suprised these kooks aren't also filing a lawsuit to protect the apples the sharpshooters will use as bait.
