Deer culling in Sussex
February 18th, 2011 Posted in Blog: nature, environment, science, astronomy | 2 Comments »The Forestry Commission has approved the culling of deers in Sussex, in an attempt to control deer numbers. Apparently there’s been an increase in the deer population. Apparently the deer affect the natural landscape negatively. So they’ve decided killing them is the best solution …
For a video on this, see the BBC News webpage.
Almost as an afterthought, the video mentions that culling the deer provides a plentiful supply of venison. Aah, conveniently, meat eaters get lucky once again.
Hey, here’s an idea – anyone thought of MOVING them rather? Duh, no. Killing them is ‘easier’ apparently!
