Oh, the Humanity!

Point Reyes Station Has A Wailing Wall For Massacred Deer
Good grief.

Visiting the link against my better judgment, I read:

"the National Park Services program to exterminate the Fallow and Axis Deer herds from the Point Reyes National Seashore. The NPS labels the deer "non-native" yet they have been naturalized in the area for almost a century. The deer have lived in the Point Reyes and Olema Valley area long before the Point Reyes National Seashore was established, and have been loved by both visitors and residents alike for decades."
Another federal ex post facto moment.
How about a lottery to allow hunters -- non-government-employee hunters -- to thin the herd? But that's not how they do things in Marin County.

From the link:

...use of helicopters, radio tracking collars, baiting, nets, high-powered weapons, beating, stabbing and plastic bag suffocation...

Sounds like these loonies' sexual practices. What's their problem?

They don't do it that way in Ohio, either. They'll hire "sharpshooters" (how evaluated? Ich habe keine Idee) to cull the herd (to the accompaniment of wailing and gnashing of teeth), but put on a rifle season for deer in Ohio? Heaven forfend!

Out of an estimated 110 deer, how do you kill 800-900 of them? Maybe they relive it. When the grid crashes, it'll be fun watching these elites running from the unwanted,released,feral dog packs.

Sounds like the residents need to thank the environuts for this instead of the government. It is their pushing for elimination of "non-native" species from habitats that brought this, and many others like it, about.
