Jan 4th, 2018: Ann Arbor Deer

[xoxoxoBruce]

Ann Arbor, Michigan, is paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to White Buffalo Inc from CT, to handle their deer overpopulation.
Last January they darted 54 of the sexiest Does they could find, and with the help of local volunteers, gave them an ovariectomy.
This year they are repeating the process on 23 Whitetail sluts, and are looking for yoga mats to make the Does more comfy.

Ann Arbor received approval from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to start doing surgical sterilizations of female deer last winter as a research experiment, combining nonlethal population-control methods with lethal population control. The DNR is allowing the sterilization experiment to continue this year, though a Republican lawmaker from northern Michigan is now proposing legislation to try to put an end to the practice, arguing it's not effective.

During January the same White Buffalo is contracted to bring in sharpshooters to kill up to 250 deer in the third annual cull.
Of course some people are against killing Bambi, and others are freaked out about cull because, you know... guns.

Some are frustrated the city won't disclose the specific neighborhoods where shooting is expected to occur on private property, leaving people unsure if shooting might happen near their homes or in areas where people walk their dogs.

The city is being more transparent about the public lands where shooting will occur and has announced closure dates and plans to install signage warning of the shooting.

There's a rule, or law, or edict, I think it goes back to the Pharaohs, that volunteers must be fed.
