They’re at it again!

I am, first of all, a conservationist by no means. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m an animal lover; why, the cat unplugged the Tivo again last night, and right now I would put that motherf*cker in a stew pot the first chance I got. But I just saw a story on channel 5 about the Wildwood nitwits again, and it drives me so crazy I cannot contain myself. They had a meeting tonight at which it looked like many of them were about to have a mass aneurysm. It seems the residents of Wildwood are appalled and aflutter over the rampant, out-of-control deer population in their community.

Their community in the ‘burbs. Their community 45 minutes away from the city. Their community named Wild F*cking Wood.

“Oh my God; where did all these deer come from? This neighborhood we recently built in the forest has a real deer problem.” You moved to Deercrest Estates in a town called Deertopia. What the f*ck did you think was going to happen? You do not have a deer problem where you live; the deer have a dipsh*t problem where they live. Why do even care if they dart out in front of your car? Isn’t that why you bought the Ford Explorer in the first place?

(KSDK) - Missouri Department of Conservation officials are gathering Wednesday night at Queeny Park, to talk about the local deer population that seems to be out of control.

Representatives from ten municipalities and four agencies hope to discuss issues such as deer over-population and safety issues, because deer and people often do not mix well.

Conservation officials say drivers and deer collided hundreds of times, in one recent year, on area roadways. And the biggest concentration of those crashes has taken place in suburbs in west St. Louis County.

At the meeting conservation officials will outline the results of a study. They looked into deer management alternatives, both lethal and non-lethal as well as some alternatives that are not feasible in west St. Louis County.

Conservation officials are looking for public comment on the preliminary report. Erin Shank, of the Missouri Department of Conservation said, “In St. Louis County, we estimate we see probably 500-600 deer-vehicle collisions in the county, within one year. and the biggest concentration of those are in west St. Louis County.
