Actually, I hate to mention this in public, but I'm starting to feel like we should have the right to, poison, like slugs, deer that forage on our crops. (An organic poison, of course.) I know this is a retro view, but, then again, how do they really differ from, say, a rat infestation? Except, of course, that the deer belong to the state and the state believes that SOMEONE will pay a couple of weeks out of the year to shoot them...

The problems (aside from the desire of many humans to have nothing kill deer but them) are: how do you make sure that only deer can get at the poison? and, how do you make sure that the poisoned carcass doesn't get eaten by anything that will itself be poisoned?
