Several years ago Reader's Digest had a story about a town in California that had a deer problem but people did not want to do anything about "cute Bambi." People were protecting them and feeding them until three people were attacked by cats -- mountain lion or catamount or cougar or panther or puma, whatever you want to call them. One person died. Think about that before you complain about the people who want to get rid of the deer. The person you save may be you.
