When I hunt there may be a second of simpathy for the deer, but then I remember that if populations are not controlled that these same animals will suffer from starvation, the preditor population will increase, bringing danger not only to the deer but children and pets as well. There is greater chance of the deer being hit by cars along roadways as their population increases. Unless you are vegan, what did the cattle (beef) chicken, pork (pig) fish or anyother meat that you buy in the store ever do to deserve ending up on your plate.
