Reply #3: They need to remove non-native species

by any means necessary. Hunting would be better than just wholesale slaughter, at least they get some use of the animal.

Hunting is a very important aspect of wildlife management. Places where hunting is not allowed or is frowned upon are OVERRUN with deer that are starving, a fate worse than being hunted. All of this is the fault of humans. There are too many of us everywhere.

There is hunting in many parks. The managers use it to help manage populations, especially in the absence of natural predators. Closing them to the public when hunting is occurring is important for safety reasons. I have no problem with hunting, none whatsoever, even in a public park. I do have an issue with some hunters I have met who are jackasses, but that's another story.
