Given what I and my friend have endured personally at the hooves of Bambi, I have absolutely zero sympathy for the deer.
A recent study indicates that from 1991-2003 calculated traffic accidents involving deer in the US kill 150 people annually and cause $1.1 billion in property damage, and injure some 10,000 people.
The cattlemen's groups who want to eradicate the cougar are being incredibly selfish and gaining some imagined well being at the expense of the many when you look at the stats.
In the same time period (1991-2003),
reports show that cougars attacked human beings in the US and Canada BOTH an average of 5.6 times a year and were responsible for .8 fatalities a year.
If you are going to be terrified of a wild animal, Bambi wins hands down.
As for me, I'm putting out catnip. I LOVE kitties!
