What are you suggesting exactly? Culling the white tail dear population across the USA?
- makeitrain 5y agoI mean we have enough rednecks to get it done. Declare open season and even provide a bounty and it could be done shockingly quick. It's probably not a good idea though. I don't know, I'll yield to the science on this one.
- simonsarris 5y agoThe USA has many places without any roads at all, which require ~75 mile hikes to get to, like parts of Wyoming, and also shares a 2,5000 mile border with a neighboring country that is mostly uninhabited land. We do not have remotely enough resources to eradicate deer even if we were crazy enough to.
- nradov 5y agoIs that a joke? You can't seriously be advocating the extinction of a crucial species. And it's not just deer. Many other mammal species can also catch and transmit SARS-CoV-2.
- snarf21 5y agoNot all hunters are rednecks. Also, clearly you have never gone hunting. Let's rephrase this in a more understandable way. Do you think it would be possible to kill/capture ALL the pigeons in even a single city
- throwaway4good 5y agoI am not a veterinarian but there are things you can do, and that is being done (for swine flu for example), to prevent disease outbreaks in animals, also within wildlife. Primarily surveillance and control.
- mcntsh 5y agoSwine flu is controlled within farms. Deer don't live in farms and if controlling/surveilling their population was possible, then other diseases such as lyme wouldn't be a thing.
