    Two things can be true at once.

    Deer are actually usually overpopulated though. That’s what hunting licenses are issued for.

      Yes two things can be true at once but recycling Lemmy talk from other posts doesn’t inherently mean it applies to every event where there is a wrong taking place.

      Deer are not parasites. Humans caused their overpopulation and built roads where they have lived for thousands of years. And then on top of that try and say that it’s the deers fault?

      The PZP vaccine is more than effective enough at controlling populations. We killed off all their predators and then made a profit driven sport out of it. It’s disgusting and unnecesary. You don’t see people hunting wild horses in overpopulated areas, you see us using alternatives that don’t involve unnecesary suffering.
