as for the deer: the whitetail is one of the most adaptable species in this country. the number of deer is far larger than colonial times. they are a nuisance and a danger, and cause thousands of wrecks each year. they should have a herd cull of dramatic proportions and donate all the meat to charities. people move to the suburbs, and go ohhh, look at the pretty deer. and then the pretty deer eat their landscaping. or they attack someone during mating season.

An estimated 1.23 million deer-vehicle collisions occurred in the U.S. between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, costing more than $4 billion in vehicle damage, according to State Farm, the nation’s leading auto insurer.

also cause 200 fatalities annually. we had about 500k deer at the start of the 19th century...today it's about 20 million.
