Two summers ago, a similar situation developed in Town and Country, a western suburb of St. Louis.
The population in Town and Country (which swelled during the late 80s and 90s to 40,000 or so) started putting grazing deer out of places to roam. They wound up milling about town, causing problems for the local folk. Of course, the folks were up in arms, but the mayor put it quite simply: we took their habitat so what did we expect?
