Officials just admitted they'll use sliencers on sharpshooters to kill at least 350 every year until 2020, basically, all the deer there are in the CVNP! NPS Midwest Regional Acting Director PATTY TRAPP SIGNED THIS FEB. 13. They're now working with Cleveland Metroparks -- a ghoulish, shameful public display of "Groupthink" because every player at every level is guilty of thinking it must be okay because everybody else thinks it is  --  which has been killing hundreds annually since 1998. This cannot be described in any terms other than a Holocaust, a war on wildlife. Just look at the image. There's no worse violation of the Public Trust Doctrine -- that wildlife belongs to everyone -- than this! There's a loophole in CVNP's deer kill plan to allow for Rocket Net, a horribly violent explosion that captures and kills the deer via captive bolt. (See video link below.) Head of natural resources Lisa Petit's own research and PowerPoint presentation in Fall 2013 proved that deer have DECLINED by over half over a 16 year period. This petitioner filibustered that meeting, demanding to know why they plan to kill when Petit's own research indicated a huge drop in deer populations over 16 years. Why wouldn't she push for a nonl-lethal solution? Because the NPS claims five criteria have to be met. PZP birth control, a humane method, is all but guaranteed to work, and has worked in many captive mammal settings for decades. There is no good reason not to use PZP, except park loopholes. Petit's research was predominantly based on an outdated, faulty, myopic study about flora damage in the park. A volunteer who proved nonnative earthworms compact the soils, a bigger cause of understory underdevelopment, NOT DEER BROWSING, has been supressed..

The real kicker, according to all cross-referenced data and widllife biology research, experts know that killing only results in the paradox of rebound. The final authority, Patty Trapp, who I pressed on this point did not deny it.
