Sports columnist Michael Carman’s Oct. 12 article (“Looking For Love, Or Salt”) begins with “Deer I can do without” and goes on to cite their growing population as “a potential threat to public health.”
I would add “a threat to public safety.”
One of these days, the Peninsula Daily News will be reporting on a serious traffic encounter between vehicle and deer, resulting in injury or worse to both humans and “Bambi.”
In my west-side neighborhood, there are increasing numbers of deer invading yards, crossing residential streets and galvanizing dogs into giving chase.
Officials need to come up with a plan to relocate or cull these appealing creatures.
As Mr. Carman writes, they are “not a cute photo opportunity for charmed visitors.”
