In a world of dog eat dog, we human's are on the
top. We control practically EVERYTHING.
Being that thing is true, we must be responsible for
others. We must watch outselves, for each
action causes an aftershock. What we do affets
everything, and right now the problem we must
deal with is deer. We are angered by the heavily-consumation
of our vegetation. The deer will
enter our yards and scarf down the flowers. They
suck down bird feed and strip down the
forest floor. We want this to stop and feel we have
solutions to this major problem. Without a
doubt, there is a deer overpopulation. According to
The New York Times, in 2006, about two-
hundred human casualties were caused on account of
deer-car collisions on the road.
Homeowners are angered by the loss of their
vegetation. What are we to do? We feel that
contraception and an extended hunting season could
possibly solve this problem.
Contraception can cut the birth rate entirely.
Although this will be at a high cost, it will help
the
deer population dwindle to a healthy level. And an
extended hunting season will allow us to
remove the deer quickly. A cut in prices to hunt
will encourage hunters to go out more and get a
deer. And this will also weed out the healthy and
non-healthy deer. We are open to any solution
to solve the overpopulation issue that is humane
and highly-effective. We feel that the best of
technology should be used to cut the population.
And being that it is so large and diseased, it
should definantly be done now.

How feasible is the method of contraception on deer?
Deer are active throughout the
day, and they are wild nomads--they migrate from place
to place; how effective is
contraception on wild animals?

Your solution will cost alot of money and by lowering
the price to hunt you will lose more
money for your contraception idea. Also, some of these
ideas are not long term and how
would they know they shot the same deer with the
contraception chemical? No hunter
wants to eat a deer filled with contraceptive hormones.
Try to find a long term solution
and a safer solution for the deer. Deer are not doing
anything wrong, we are taking their
forest so they have no choice but to come eat flowers
and such from people’s yards.

What is the reason that they want to use contraception
and hunting as solutions?
Why would you want to use a costly method?

It is true that contraception is costly, but the method
is effective. We also feel
that if the extention of the hunting season will make an
impact in the deer
population. If prices for hunting requirments could be
lowered, this would
encourage hunters to go out and hunt longer and more
often.

Who do you feel that would be against contraception and
extended hunting seasons,
and when do you feel you should stop the hunting season,
once they get to a healthy
level, before, or after?

Most people who would be against contraception and an
extended hunting season
would be people who are unaware of the problem and are
ignorant of the
delimma we are dealing with. An extended hunting season
will not immediatly
erase the huge population of deer, but it will help
slowly decrease the size. If
the season was extended by about two weeks, this can
make an impact to the size
of the deer population. Contraception is also a useful
technique to prevent any
growth in the population. This would be somewhat
difficult, but useful.

if you extend the season deer are still going to be in
your yard.

Obviously, the deer aren't going to completely disappear
from the area.
(Expecially your yard.) Deer can be affected by many
things in many ways. This
process is gradual and will take time. Find what is the
most effective for you to
deflect or remove the deer and follow through with it
for more than just one day.
Soon you will see a change.
