A new all time low for partisan politics

Forget the "I am not expert" part of it. It is irrelevant whether I am an expert. You don't need to be an expert to have an opinion on something. What did I say that you disagree with? You think I am crazy or I'm an idiot for not liking to see hundreds, or in some cases thousands of animals slaughtered every time there is an overpopulation problem in an area? I actually think you're a heartless a-hole if your first choice is to slaughter animals any time there are too many in an area. I understand that in many cases it is the only feasible option. But that shouldn't be the first choice without even considering whether there are feasible alternatives.

Game on! Best case scenario you are a closeted liberal wannabe tree hugger. And by closeted I don't mean it in a sexual way. The "Expert" part is your constant including that in your nonsensical post as it absolves you of the nonsense that follows. My issue is you insulting a poster by calling her a "brain surgeon". How anyone can think that a deer relocation program is even remotely feasible is infukingsane. But I guess if you include the "I'm not an Expert" line in your post you can babble whatever nonsense you so desire without ever feeling wrong when someone schools you.

Just because I love animals, that doesn't make me a closet liberal. I'm not a tree-hugger but I do care about the environment. I think there should be fairly strict regulations when it comes to policing industries that are heavy polluters.

With regard to relocating deer, if it's not feasible then it's not feasible. I'm a reasonable person. If I was in charge, I wouldn't insist it be done if all the non-biased experts told me that it just couldn't be done. As I said before, it seems like any time there is an overpopulation problem with any type of animal, the powers that be want to immediately kill them all. And in some of these cases, there are other options. For example, because there were some caring people out there, they were able to save several hundred wild mustangs (I believe it was in Nevada. I think they were relocated to a neighboring state.).

Just to clarify, I didn't say that you were a heartless a-hole. I said that you were one only "if" your first choice is always to kill animals without at least considering alternative options. In other words, if you considered alternative options and decided that none of them were feasible, then I would respect that. I would not respect a viewpoint of automatically wanting to kill animals without considering other options, and having no feeling whatsoever for the animals.
