If you study all of those articles, you will see that there is a huge debate about what to do about the deer population in Scotland. The birth control efforts I was referring to were at a park in England. I do think people in more rural and wild areas are more likely to hunt, and people in urban areas are more likely to think about deer birth control, just as in America. The articles I posted about ordinary people rescuing deer were, I thought, very sweet and sentimental. Do a lot of people in Wisconsin rescue deer in that manner? If so, then they, too are very civilized. Also, in the articles is a discussion of culling as being a scientific way of controlling the population. There is a discussion that culling must include killing the calves of does that are killed so that they do not suffer and starve to death. There seems generally in all of the articles to be a high level of concern about the welfare of deer. The UK is having a debate about reintroducing wolves (and linx) to bring deer populations down. They are also thinking of exporting venison, but the market doesn't seem very strong for it. And of course the animal rights people and a lot of the just plain citizenry who comment at the end of one of your articles give examples of deer herds who maintain their populations without hunting or culling. Apparently there are six kinds of deer in the UK, some of whom may be better at doing that.
