Nip ’em in the buds: How Staten Island plans to handle the out of control deer population

TheCourier: JONESBORO — With an out-of-control deer population, Staten Island, New York residents don’t know what to do. Seems as though the best solution they can come up with is to perform vasectomies on male deer. Oh yeah, and at a cost of $2 million to taxpayers. A simple case of where two wrongs will never equal one right.

There are almost a half million people inhabiting Staten Island. Hard to believe because that’s only 58 square miles or roughly five miles wide by 11 miles long. A lot of people squeezed into a small space, something we southerners don’t really take a liken to, as they say. Throw in a 1,000 deer into the mix, and trouble is a brewing.

The best solution they could come up with is to sterilize their bucks. The process would be carried out over a three-year period and is “expected” to reduce the herd by 10-30 percent, at a cost of $2 million. If you’re looking for an amazing statistic, here’s one. In 2008 there were 24 deer residing on Staten Island. Today there are an estimated 1,000. While there is an abundance of deer and lunacy, there is an obvious lack of deer hunters.

These are probably the smartest deer in the world because they obviously know that they’re smack dab in the middle of a liberal city where deer rights are equal to human rights. Surely no one would kill a defenseless deer? After all, they’re so cute. What? Deer are eating my azaleas? Something has to be done and done right now! Shoo deer, shoo!

  1. We warned you about these sanctuary cities.

    And why is it the male who has to make the sacrifice? Can’t we get these liberals to put condoms on these bucks?

  2. Ridiculous – it doesn’t even deal with the real issues of the deer over population including spreading ticks/Lyme disease, causing car accidents that result in expensive repairs and injury/fatalities and general property damage. And are residents feeding them? Usually that helps cause the deer population to explode.

  3. Col. Angus, that little hormone isn’t safe for humans and the eco freaks know it. It would make the meat of eventual offspring and the doe herself, unfit for human consumption.

  4. Solution: a dozen or so suppressed 300BLK (7.62×35) rifles with subsonic ammo in the hands of competent and discrete shooters. Cart the butchered carcasses out in restaurant dumpsters, at least that part of the meat not headed for the hunters’ freezers or sausage kitchens.

  5. Yes, liberals, spending tens of millions of tax dollars in an attempt to control game animal populations, instead of earning millions in revenue from hunters who’ll do it for you, makes perfect sense. Just like amusing the mentally ill with gender dysphoria by letting them go pee pee wherever will solve our “gender identity” problems.

  6. As firearms are ruled out due to population density, trap them and ship them to a place where people can hunt them.
    Once they are rounded up, that is the end of them.
    If you can catch the buck to operate on it, why let it go?
    Also, with the male deer gone (due to lack of goats, the muzzies might leave also.

  7. Sounds like the old cowboy joke about coyotes….

    “The Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to the Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population. It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true method of shooting or trapping the predators, the Sierra Club had a “more humane” solution to this issue.

    What they were proposing was for the animals to be captured alive. The males would then be castrated and let loose again.

    This was ACTUALLY proposed by the Sierra Club and by the U.S. Forest Service. All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes. Finally an old fellow in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said: “Son, I don’t think you understand our problem here … These coyotes ain’t F—ing our sheep – they’re eatin’ ’em!”

    As for the deer……shoot them, skin them, and eat them.

  8. Now in future you use totally the ones that have no terminal bud and cut those that have terminal buds from two thirds down from the top and remove the two lower leafings. Then plant the tops in the vacated pots. Whenever you see flower stem forming nip it in the bud as if you let the basil flower the leaves will lose their taste.
