    Deer are out of control because we hunted all the predators because meat farms needed to protect their product.

    You’ve slotted yourself into the place of natural predators, but that does not actually fix anything!

      I think you’re underplaying the historical significance of wool and how agricultural lands for growing plants also played a massive role in destroying the habitat of those predators (toss in timber in there too).

      Yes and now it’s on the citizens to take the place of those missing natural predators - the meat farms sure aren’t going to do it, especially by your logic.

      You kind of just talked yourself into a circle.
