I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense to round up urban deer, etc, and
try to relocate them into some remote wilderness. I suspect that the
tame deer would have some difficulty finding food, eluding predators,
etc. Don't know, not an expert on deer or etc.


Other than Harry I don't know anyone who feeds deer in their backyard.
They are interesting to watch but almost everyone regards them as an
extreme pest. Deer eat expensive shrubbery and vegetable gardens.
They wreck cars and propagate deer ticks. They're nice to look at but
not very good neighbors.



Some of us have a bit of compassion towards the critters whose habitat
we are destroying. Now, if they were Republicans, hell, let them eat cake.
