Threat of Axis Deer on the Big Island

They will help to eat down all the invasive plants that has taken over this place.

Doesn't sound like you know much about deer's eating habits. They are very good at finding the best plants, like food crops. And how do you know that they won't like the native plants best of all? You don't.

A lot of the invasives are trees. Deer only eat up to a certain height. Deer prefer the tender new growth, like what is in the veggie garden.
What a horrible philosophy. You will wreck the ecosystem because you don't like the policy with the sheep.
Well, thanks for posting so we know there is at least one person who thinks it's a good idea to overrun the island with smuggled in wildlife.
