Well bambi, if as a species you weren't so fucking stupid and completely oblivious to food pressures and rarely slow down your reproductive rate, we'd not have to fucking whack you in large numbers.
At one point, Alabama's deer herd was growing by 10% per year.
They had a 79-day bow season, daily limit of 4/day, no seasonal limit, and if you whacked does, you got a handjob from DNR.
Deer are lucky they fucking taste good, otherwise we'd be far more efficient in killing the fuckers.
That just goes to the craziness of tumblr, singling out deer of all possible animals as poor defenseless victims. What else can you expect though. These were the same bloggers who conflated hunters with people who poach elephants, and thought that elephants live in little nuclear families. :lol: I love animals, but I hate organizations like PETA that put animals on a pedestal above people and lie about the facts to win over people like me who love animals.

So we should let animals starve to death, rather than feed a starving human being with animals that are overgrazing their environment. Oh, I forgot, everything about nature is perfect and holy, and everything about humans is sinful and bad. No venison for you, little Timmy, because we might accidentally kill one of the healthy deer that would have survived the inevitable famine its dumb ass caused in the first place.

Oh look, another photo of deer. Yes, it would be a wonderful and beautiful thing if everyone stopped hunting and the deer population got so large that they wandered into town looking for food and started wrecking peoples cars, tipping garbage cans and destroying gardens. Because fuck people, hunting is for meany-faces.
If left unaltered by humans, the delicate balance of nature’s ecosystems ensures the survival of most species.
Wait, is PETA a young-earth social conservative christian organization? Because they seem to not understand the history of evolution on this planet. Most species don't survive.
Hunters, however, strive to kill the animals they would like to hang over the fireplace—usually the largest, most robust animals, who are needed to keep the gene pool strong. This “trophy hunting†often weakens the rest of the species’ population: Elephant poaching is believed to have increased the number of tuskless animals in Africa
>_> Yes. All hunters are trophy hunters. All hunters also support elephant poaching. Because they're the same thing. :doh:
Even though less than 5 percent of the U.S. population hunts, nonhunters are forced to share many wildlife refuges, national forests, state parks, and other public lands with armed individuals who enjoy killing animals. Almost 40 percent of hunters in the U.S. slaughter and maim millions of animals on public land every year. By some estimates, poachers kill just as many animals illegally. Most federal and state agencies that are charged with managing wildlife refuges, national forests, state parks, and other public lands are funded in part by hunting and fishing activities, so agency personnel often go out of their way to encourage these activities rather than regulate or police them.
It's all a big conspiracy. The feds personally jack off over every single dead animal they find. Poaching and hunting are totes the same thing.
