        "If the deer ever do overpopulate an area, their numbers will reduce naturally through starvation, disease and lower fertility."

        Thats literally the same argument hunters make. That its more ethical to shoot a door, than to let it slowly starve to death over winter because they're overpopulated. We have inexoribly changed the ecosystem with fencing and aggriculture. Deer can no longer freely disperse like they could 200 years ago.... so overpopulation DOES mean suffering.

        And the link you provided has no actual scientific studies. There are lots of those out there.

        But nah... just post blog spam and call us a made up name, lol

        Literally one of the ONLY positive things about the US is we have amazing wildlife management. Its better than nearly every other country on Earth.

        Overabundant might not be a scientific word but it is a real problem in a co-existant human–fauna society.

        We killed all their predators and now there are too many deer. We hit them with cars, extremely often. They eat too much resources, eroding the land.

        It is a problem we created and barring killing all people and ending society, directing hunters towards managing a population of deer that is growing with no limiters is a good option.

            The root cause is humanity, eco fascist.

            If you're proposing killing everyone so nature heals, go have fun jerking yourself off in the anprim corner.

            We live in a real world where that's not happening and neither is reintroducing wolves into urban environments.

            If hunters hunting overpopulated species of deer that are being hit by cars anyway reduces them eating farmed meat and helps us shift focus to tearing down the factory farming industry, good.
