While I understand people's emotional reaction to a deer cull, I wonder what these individuals suggest we do?  As a municipality, we now have a generation of deer growing up in the city - when I was at the transfer station yesterday there was a whole family of deer forging in the garbage, including a yearling.  We now have deer that were born and raised in the city, so how would they be successfully relocated?  And who would pick up the tab for the relocation?  Do the individuals that are so strongly opposed to a cull believe the health and well being of deer are more important than the human citizens of this city?  It is a sad day when a population is more concerned with the 'blight' of the city deer than the families and children living in poverty and utilizing the food bank on a daily basis.  Lets get our priorities straight Kimberley!  Maybe we could cull the deer and give the meat to the food bank - or do the opponents to the cull believe the deer eating my lilacs have more right to a 'good' life than little Johnny in grade 3 who has to eat hot dogs for dinner again?
