Look at the number of goddamn condos and cookie cutter houses they're putting up everywhere that don't need to be there, I for one enjoy living on a somewhat quiet road in the woods of SE Mass.

Historically we had wolves here, if they ever show up again are you gonna complain that they ate your cat?
How do you think my campaign would fare against multi-million dollar organizations? These folks don't listen to biologist, why would they listen to lil ole me? They believe our states biologist work for sportman anyhow. As for starving deer, I'm sorry to report, it is over-population and the lack of will of home/property owners to give access to their land. Everyone loves to watch bambi feeding in the backyard but when bambi begins to eat ornamental plants and begins to be a problem on the roads causing accidents, then the people complain. Deer are urbanized and thrive quite well if maintained correctly. You can have 3 deer per/acre and they will live comfortably, add 1 more to the heard and they will all begin to starve, not just that added one. I agree goddamn condo's and cookie cutter houses are a problem, but thats urban sprawl and population growth. We can't all live in the city or a quiet road in paradise. As for wolves eating my cat, I can live with that. That what wolves do. But when wolve's, coyotes and mountain lions begin to drag your children into the woods, call Ma. Audubon and complain.
