The incredible deer-pocalypse population boom of the last few years is eclipsed this year by more twin and triplets births than I have ever seen. The tipping point has been crossed.
I propose that council looks into a purpose built cage that only a deer could put its head into. Baited with apples containing fentanyl, a proven (sadly), fast and painless way to euthanize deer. The location would be at the end of a protected leafy lane or wooded property, out of eyesight and traffic, monitored by a wildlife officer and SPCA rep who would ensure no cruelty or tampering occurs. Humane to the deer, effective for the community and some long needed action that doesnt involve convoluted traps, complex collars, and experimental unproven contraceptives.
