According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. has more licensed deer
hunters than the rest of the world has solders bearing arms.

Yet deer populations in the U.S. are at an all time high ( far
exceeding pre-Columbian times)and human deaths and disability due to
interactions with deer ( car collisions and lyme disease)are reaching
alarming levels!

What is to be done to prevent this carnage? Should we restore the
wolf to it's former population levels? Will re-introduced wolves
chase deer when pet dogs and cats are far easier prey ( as cyotes,
bobcats and owls have learned).

And what is to be done with the bears now invading the suburbs of New
York City? I guess electrified fences would at least provide children
a safe haven from them. I sure would not want to smell like a
herbivore ( their natural prey)if one was in my neighborhood. Tigers
in India eat Hindus but flee from meat eaters.
