Stop Deer Mismanagement
Stop Deer Mismanagement at Tyler State Park in Pennsylvania
For nearly 30 years, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has been mismanaging urban deer. Every year in December and January, they turn the tranquil and historic Tyler State Park into a bloody killing field when hunters line up to kill deer in this urban setting.
Not only is killing deer ineffective due to the “compensation factor,” which happens when surviving deer have more offspring due to the increased abundance of nutritious food, but bow-hunting is extremely cruel and ethically indefensible.
Demand an immediate moratorium in order to study humane, nonlethal management for deer in Tyler State Park.
