W/o hunters, the deer would overpopulate, strip thier food supply, and die of starvation. The sad truth is that hunters are needed for the ecosystem, and for the balance of life. W/o wolves, or man, deer have no natural enemy to keep them under control. They need us for the survival of thier species.

Sorry to barge in like that, but it had to be said...
While we're mentioning it probably should be noted that the 'balance of life' i.e. wolves, is out of whack because man has shot/trapped/poisoned them to near extinction. Devistated their habitat for the sake of urban sprawl, ski condos and clear cut forests.

Hunting is part of life..yes. But it's an almost sacred thing. What this asshole did wasn't hunting. He's the same kinda dipshit redneck who shoots up road signs, smashes mailboxes in the country, spraypaints 'bubba was here' on a canyon wall, and dumps his garbage off the bridge into the creek.

There's no excuse for cruelty to animals just for the power hard-on. In fact it's the first thing they look for in the psychographic profiles of serial killers and psychopaths.
