Animal rights activists fight deer cull in Quebec

[Catherine]

Longueuil Quebec Has proposed a deer cull to deal with its deer over population problem. They plan to cull 60 of the 70 deer in the park.  Local animal rights activists are challenging them in the courts to stop the cull.  It will be a cruel and stressful solution to over population. Instead of a cull, the Animal Rights Activists have proposed alternate solutions. The deer could be trapped and neutered to prevent further strain on the park ecosystem. Many of the deer could be relocated. There are safe places that are willing to accept the deer. There is no need to kill them.

As usual, the first plan is to kill everything. The deer should not have been allowed to reach this level of overpopulation. They could have been relocated years ago. The females can be injected with contraceptives to reduce the number of offspring each year. Now that the numbers are too large, some of the deer can be moved.
There is no need to kill the deer. If the city goes ahead with the cull it will be sheer stubbornness and a commitment to an act of cruelty.
Hopefully the court case goes in favour of the deer.
