Re: What is the correct number of deer? (Letters, Sept. 19)

Andre Mollon is keying in on the wrong part of Rhonda WentzelB次元官网网址檚 letter. ItB次元官网网址檚 not that she (or I) is/am offended by the sight of deer.

IB次元官网网址檓 also a resident of Belmont Park and IB次元官网网址檒l reiterate the points that itB次元官网网址檚 impossible to grow any sort of thing without taking extraordinary protective measures, and there are little mountains of deer droppings on every lawn.

IB次元官网网址檓 not offended by the sight of deer, itB次元官网网址檚 what they do to the neighbourhood thatB次元官网网址檚 the problem. Where else can we take this? How many bears is too many? (One.) How many cougars is too many? (It depends on how many attacks there are, I suppose.) How many raccoons is too many? (All of them.)

This is all wildlife Belmont residents deal with on a regular basis, whether it be raccoons (or bears) ravaging the garbage, or cougars being sighted or deer eating every recreational garden and pooping all over the place. Deer are a nuisance, and I donB次元官网网址檛 disagree with RhondaB次元官网网址檚 broad stance on something being done about them. If Mr. Mollon thinks theyB次元官网网址檙e that great, he can have some of ours.
