Deer are nasty parasite infested over-populated creatures that cause an abundance of damage and death to motorists. Analog stick caps would be a great way to cull the population and not waste the carcasses.
what did they do to you?
They burned our crops, poisoned our water supply, and delivered a plague upon our houses!
They did?
No but are we gonna wait around until they do?
They turned me into a newt!
did you deserve it? i feel like you did
He definetly did . Source : i was the deer
thank you for your service, my deer
Probably just got the repair bill after hitting one with his car.
Two things can be true at once.
Deer are actually usually overpopulated though. That's what hunting licenses are issued for.
Ok, I agree with most of your comment, though the one were talking about was a joke I think and not serious.
Anyway, you're referring to hunting as inhumane and I totally don't agree. As far as eating meat goes, it's very humane. The animal gets to live their natural lives for a relatively long time, and then they die in a relative (to nature) quick and painless method. I don't hunt, but hunting is extremely humane compared to almost anything in nature. You can watch videos of lions eating their prey alive while they're still calling out for help, for example.
As long as we agree that the natural world should exist, we don't get to treat hunting as cruel. Sure, it's sucks that anything has to feel pain, but it can't go away unless we pave over the planet and remove all life. Life is pain and suffering.
Also, horse is eaten in many places around the world. I wouldn't have an issue with it as a form of population control where they cause issues, which they are an invasive species. There are many animals we don't have good ways to control the population for, like boar, where hunting protects nature and is encouraged. Sure, it's all humanity's fault, but it is what it is and it can't be reversed.
