AR-News: (US-ct) Of deer and men: how a hunt has riled a suburb

[Animalconcerns]

[from Christian Science Monitor]

Along the quiet, leafy trails of the Greenwich Audubon sanctuary - 285
acres nestled in one of Connecticut's most exclusive suburbs - a fierce
battle is brewing about nature, and how best to maintain its balance.

The struggle has pit conservationists against animal rights activists and
exposed the challenge of how to help nature thrive in cities and suburbs.

At the center of the dispute are white-tailed deer - emblems of American
wildlife and prolific, hungry critters who can gnaw through oak saplings
and wildflowers at alarming rates. The Audubon sanctuary, located near two
highways and dozens of elegant white clapboard mansions, has one of the
highest concentrations of the deer in Connecticut.
