Yeah anyone who does not support deer hunting in NY state must be ill-informed-these things are overpopulated! in my area they contribute to a plethora of overbrowsing and car accidents. Anyone interested in ethically eating meat should recognize deer hunting as a beneficial, humane, zero-carbon footprint, completely organic method of being a carnivore. Most of my vegetarian friends support hunting overpopulated animals for meat as well, because they are also biology majors as well. As for the fact that animals feel pain, so do plants--it is proven. So does bacteria I guess, the question is just where do you draw the line. Every living organism feels pain
