We opposed this ludicrous "munipical hunt" against SIX scary deer, yes. The value of conscious life does need a different weight than that of the expensive vegetation, no matter the lineage of these plants. If there were many more deer, we'd have opposed it. How on Earth could this deer be banned from their needed habitat and food? Free-living animal populations, including a half-dozen deer in Stamford, are self-regulating. That said, we are mindful of the need to stop the wiping out of the large predators. Fortunately, in the US, some still live free. We defend these too.
