Re: "Let hunters kill more deer: report," Sept. 1.
Why does this panel believe that by killing deer others will not replace them? This will be an ongoing exercise.
The proposal to sterilize the deer, although supposedly more costly, would have been the better solution. Years ago, the University of Victoria was offered a proposal of a trap-neuter-release program for the rabbits, but it refused and we saw the consequences. The university suffered a major black eye over its handling of the rabbits; now it seems the same fate will befall the Capital Regional District and the city of Victoria.
