Quote by: Matt They don't need their 'fair' share, they aren't natural predators.

Firstly, humans are a part of nature and therefore anything we do is natural. Secondly, what difference does it make to the deer whether their predator fits some arbitrary concept of naturalness?

When you say 'control', what do you exactley mean? I agree, introducing natural predators to some extent and limiting hunting to some extent would be a good compromise for both sides, and I would be happy if that happened. Though I doubt most hunters would, though I don't know, I would like to hear their responses.

I don't support making an effort to limit hunting; simply that if hunting becomes insufficient to control deer population we could introduce predators to work alongside hunters. I don't see why hunters would object to this, since anyone who does want to hunt would still be free to do so.

Quote by: Matt Yes, it is life threatening for many species of animals, who are on the verge of extinction in North America. Many species in North America have already went extinct.

But it's not life threatening to us and we're therefore not overpopulated.

Quote by: Matt No, their aren't any great famines or diseases in North America, but AIDS is bad in some parts of the USA..

Not due to high population density. It's due more to overcopulation than overpopulation.

Quote by: Matt Also, in Africa and Asia there are huge diseases and famines, which shows you there are overpopulations there

Right, but we're not talking about Africa or Asia.
