The deer slaughter at South Mountain, Hilltop, etc. should be stopped. It is costing taxpayers $500,000 so far. Hardly cheap. We need to co-exist with these animals, whose homes we have brutally developed. The reasons given for killing have no foundation in truth. Killing the deer is all about money for the NJ Div fish & game. Lyme ticks are on all animals and birds so to blame deer for lyme ticks makes no sense, particularly when the mouse is the prime carrier of the ticks. Vegetation in the forest is such a scam. Fact is with the acid rain, mercury, coal ash, lead, toxic chemical pesticides like rodeo, etc., hordes of people using the open space and taking home plants, bushes, etc. Invasive exotic vegetation less sunshine and climate change, (along with hundreds of other factors), what is happening to vegetation in our forests is extreme, but it isnt caused by the deer. It is caused by man, the ultimate predator. As for deer accidents, I have seen deer by the side of the road considering whether it is safe to cross. I also have seen hundreds of fevered drivers driving 60 mph on 25 mph streets. Nothing can escape being hit at that rate, and the pictures of cars ending up hitting second stories of houses, hitting poles, hitting store fronts are all an indication of the horrific speeding that is going on by residents always in a rush. They are always late. They talk on their cellphones and don’t watch the road or pedestrians crossing either. They can’t even stop from hitting the cars in front of them, which is their responsibility. So, lets give the deer a break. They dont deserve the brutality and abuse and murder that is being pushed on them.
