Letter: No kill is the way to go with deer control

Share post:

Regarding the deer situation in West Windsor, it would be best if the township chose to adopt a no kill policy as research has shown that hunting is not always an effective solution to deer conflict management.

In light of violence and shootings, it would be wise not to bring guns and bow hunting into the discussion. Instead, we should turn to other ways to deal with this issue like immunocontraception, which is far safer, more humane and equally effective.

Exercising compassion by finding a solution free of killing would ultimately benefit our community far more. I’m sure West Windsor could find a way to pay for more humane options and show that kindness can outweigh cost.
