Stop the Slaughter of Wild Animals Including Deer and Horses

In Lower Merion, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania,  wild Deer are being hunted and slaughtered to "control" the animal population. Wild horses are being similarly killed and/or have been killed, in Montana. The stories go on and on. New place, same or different kind of animal.

We are sometimes told that the animals are hurting ranchers, killing motorists, etc. Occasionally, the justification is that it is for the good of the animals themselves. In Lower Merion, the Deer, after being hunted and slaughtered, are being donated to a local food bank.

WE DO NOT CARE!! Stop the slaughter of wild animals. They were, for the most part, here before we were, and if there is a conflict between our existence and their existence, we should defer. We are irrecovably changing, for the worst, the essence of our planet. Soon, only the rats will be wild. It is immoral and unnecessary. We don't need more land development. We don't need more "suburbia." There are enough "Big Box" stores surrounding McMansions in every corner of America. Enough is Enough.
