Default The deer are wining the war

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.

The putrefying mass of flesh in a meat eaters colon can make the BO of the
average meat eater highly offensive, hence the popularity of "deodorants".
Either of or the combination of the 2 smells probably smells gastly to an
animal with a sense of smell a million times better than a humans.

Harper's Biochemistry 24 Ed. identifies certain amino acids (high in animal
products) that putrefy creating hydrogen sulphide - the "bad egg" smell
associated with rotting flesh. Some of that hydrogen sulphide becomes
sulphuric acid. Eating a lot of beans could also have a similar effect for
the same reasons.

I've read that very few carnivores, in fact I think only the crocodile and
maybe vulture, will eat putrefying meat, which may explain the claims made
by Audette. Most carnivores want very fresh meat, or even eat it live, and
are not attracted by the smell of rotting meat. This certainly applies to
felids, though personally I would gamble on this alleged effect even if I
ate meat.

A phlebotomist friend of mine recently confirmed that blood drawn from
"omnivores" can often be distinguished from vegans by its smell of
putrefaction.
