The truth about Deer Culls

[Terry Lee Grams]

Wildlife endures a constant struggle for survival, where every day is a battle between life and death. In this natural balance, every action is driven by the need to survive, not by choice or malice. Yet, human intervention, particularly through practices like deer culls, adds a layer of senseless violence to this already harsh reality. Such actions are not only unnecessary but morally wrong. Killing animals for any reason other than survival is a grave sin, and those who partake in or support these actions will ultimately be held accountable by a higher power.
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) claims that culling is a method of deer management, but their track record suggests otherwise. Time and again, they have demonstrated a lack of true understanding of deer populations and ecosystems. Their approach is often riddled with misinformation about diseases and population control, leading to further disruption of nature’s balance. Every time humans interfere with the natural world, thinking they can outsmart the wisdom of creation, they end up causing more harm. Mismanagement creates problems, and further intervention only exacerbates these issues.
Wildlife management should prioritize non-lethal methods. Until the DNR adopts a 100% non-lethal approach, it is irresponsible and unethical to support any form of wildlife management. True stewardship of the earth requires us to protect and preserve life, not to destroy it under the guise of management.
