Threat of Axis Deer on the Big Island

[MarkP]

He struck me as intelligent and articulate but at the same time he seemed unhappy. I have to say my views are different than his in that I see no problem with large scale culling, or rather I don't see any special value in reverently using every bit of each animal. We have a recently introduced threat from a creature that has no place here and we can choose to do what it takes to defeat that threat or we can fool around. Ethical hunting is always the goal. In this case I consider it ethical to eradicate the deer even if you don't eat every one.
