This sure has taken a turn. Killing a deer to me is no different than setting a mouse trap. They are no different than rodents, way, way overpopulated, carry ticks that carry lyme disease and cause lots of car accidents. Like coyotes, you could shoot them all day long and not puta dent in the population. That said, killing an animal is no different than killing a plant. Both are living beings. If you eat veggies only, you're still killing living things so you can eat. If you buy ANY kind of meat whatsoever, it's been killed out of your sight, but it's no different than shooting it yourself. Just a little less work for you.
