That reply was cooked to perfection. He really chose violence with a side of seasoning. π

Man, I hate white tailed deer. People think they're precious until they run straight into your car thinking they can just pass through it.
Or until you're explained just how much damage they're doing to forest ecosystems by overbreeding and destroying native plant life. They're becoming a locust-level issue.
Overbreeding. They're doing what they do, what they're supposed to do. It's not their fault all their predators and 9/10ths of their ecosystem have been removed.
It's not really about fault at this point, it's about solving the issue and bringing the ecosystem back into equilibrium. Like any pest, it's natural to put ire towards the group of organisms actively causing something to deteriorate, and thus sympathy goes away. This makes eliminating them much much easier for locals.
Oh aye, I know of that, but the average USA citizen doesn't care about the environment worth a damn to do anything about it. So it's easier to tell them you'll likely wreck into a deer more often because of their over population and utter stupidity.
Deer ARE beautiful creatures, but as a person who lives in the north I can absolutely confirm they are some of the dumbest fucking animals on the planet. They have exactly 1 reaction to any stimuli. Flight. Run like hell or ??die?? In my area they panic, run straight at headlights and cars screaming past.
Really THINK about that. A robin, a crow, or an ant has more thinking power in an pea-sized sized brain.
They're not going to be splitting the atom any time soon. Don't feel bad for them, just admire the one standing out in the field for its beauty and watch the F out on a country road.
Venison is delicious. Sorry not sorry. If they weren't hunted we'd be drowning in them.
To your last sentence, if we hadn't killed their predators we wouldn't have that problem.
And venison salami is the best.
To your point, I think if their natural predators were still around we'd also have a lot fewer children around.
Venison salami IS delicious.
Best lasagna you'll ever have is 75% ground venison mixed 25% with the fattiest ground beef you can get. Same for a super dense and heavy meatloaf.
Well, yes, but elk.
Yeah, but... Why do we base a creature's right to exist on their intelligence as perceived by us? We have no idea what headlights look like to them or how stressful it is being a keystone prey species. I certainly wouldn't want to walk a mile in their shoes. Personally they're a massive nuisance and garden pest, but I understand we brought our* houses to them and not the other way around, so I don't hold it against them.
They're not going to be splitting the atom any time soon.
Oh, well actually that I do hold against them. Nevermind.
They are extremely overpopulated in much of the US, in part because most of the natural predators capable of keeping their numbers down have been killed off and there has been a huge artificial increase in field/forest interfaces where they thrive. Huge amounts of starving deer abound and descend on diminishing native vegetation with a voracious appetite while generally ignoring weird invasive foreign plants. Many native plant gardeners are vexed by their tendency to gnaw native plants, trees and shrubs to death unless those are caged in and some got a taste for venison out of revenge haha.
Would be cool if we could re-introduce red wolves and the like to keep a lid on the deer without like half of the predators ending up shot or run over
Panthers have ventured up into Arizona and New Mexico not too long ago. Panthers could take out a few deer. And some hikers.
Same thing with kangaroos in Australia, though even I still find it a little too weird given they're a national symbol and all.
The alternative is that they overpopulate, overgraze and proceed to starve to death. Which is no good for anyone.
Kangaroos never really had any natural predators though, especially considering dingos were introduced.
Deer eats my tomatoes. My tomatoes are now part of deer. I eat deer, thereby reclaiming my tomatoes. Honour restored.
I rather eat that peaceful non-domestic wild animal, than the industry pigs down in the supermarkets cooler. Then we can talk about how fucked up the meat industri is. Nothing wrong with spending time and connecting with the nature, both the hard parts and romantic parts. Makes you more human.

For people that donβt live with them or have to deal with their problems.
They wreck all your plantings. Whatever ornamental garden you might have apparently tastes better than any natural plants, they will destroy them. You want a garden to grow your own food? Need a 8 foot fence around it, and that probably still isnβt enough. They jump in and wreck everything. They shit parasites and drop ticks everywhere. Dogs are idiots and eat deer shit, picking up parasites. Trees or saplings are just perfect to rub heads or horns on, they destroy the bark and kill the plantβ¦again apparently because your plants are better to wreck than anything out in the woods.
Yeah, I think deer are pretty cute, but fuck them too. Goddamn pests.
Fry up a steak with butter, salt and pepper. Jerky is also pretty good, and if you have it ground it makes a solid chili.
butter, salt and pepper
The only Holy Trinity I'll ever recognize.
People really can't stop making fun of vegans can they?
Humans like to reinforce group membership and receive validation by targeting out-groups.
why would they stop? vegans aren't special, they are just people. People make fun of people.
it would be wrong NOT to make fun of them, that would be exclusion.
The original poster was the one trying to guilt trip people in the first place. A bit of light humor is a reasonable response.
