Longueuil to slaughter deer this fall
Longueuil folks, enjoy the company of your deer friends in Michel-Chartrand park this summer, because your city is going to slaughter 60 of the 70 animals there this fall.

Sad, but necessary. The park is a wreck (due to overpopulation of deer and huge swaths of tree death from Asian Ash Borer).
Ten years ago, there was about a 75% chance of seeing a deer or two when I’d walk through the park. Now there is a 100% chance of seeing deer, and about a 75% chance of seeing about 20 so close you can just about touch them. One day last week I saw three pods in three different spots, and each pod had 10-15 deer in it.
They eat all the young tree growth, so there’s no regeneration happening at all. The forest looks dead.

The venison will be given to local food banks.

I wondered about that, SMD. Would the meat from animals like this be considered safe to eat?
Anyway, Longueuil still has to get past Anne-France Goldwater.
