Oh deer!

I don't disagree with what you have written, but I don't necessarily
think it is that simple. The animals were here first, and when we
destroy their habitat they make do with what is left.... whether it is
our lawn, our vegetable garden, or our flowers.
Other problems have been created by eliminating certain predators....
and irrationally restricting the harvesting of some animals. (While
allowing commercial harvesting of others to the point of
extinction...(for both hunter and prey...eg. the extinct NC
Oysterman.))
I agree the wildlife should be able to use any available habitat even if
it is our lawn, our lake, our vegetable garden or our flowers. It is
harmful to the animals (according to every wildlife expert in the world)
to throw out feed for these animals, to destroy their natural fear of
humans and to change their normal feeding and migratory patterns.
The problem with Geese isn't when they stop over for a few days to eat,
**** and to rest, it is when some idiot starts to feed them and they
figure it is easier to eat the easy unhealthy diet, then to migrate and
fly 1000's of miles every 6 months.
