Mt. Lebanon deer cull begins Monday night

commissioners voted last month to pay the company $500 per deer up to $75,000 to remove about 150 white-tailed deer by the end of March. To that end, the Game Commission authorized a cull in which deer will be baited, trapped and shot at night by Wildlife Services employees using .223-caliber rifles with noise suppressors.

I believe that corralling them and shooting them like fish in a barrel is inhumane. I can only imagine how terrified they will be.
