We represent the insurance business on the issue
of deer and the damages they cause. On our
side of the road deer have been a nuisance more
than being cute and cuddly. It is ironic that
some of the biggest bucks have been killed by motor
vehicles rather than being killed in hunting
season. The following paragraph will reveal some
facts as well as give links to see the facts
included in our statement. Current figures
claim that $1.1 billion dollars in damage are
caused by 1.5 million deer-related car accidents
every year. When we heard these numbers, we
found them a little hard to believe. After all,
exactly how many deer find it necessary to throw
themselves into oncoming traffic in precisely a
manner that maximizes automobile damage? It
also seems that the entire deer population is
actively suicidal, so does that mean that it is the
Bambi’s mission to be a martyr by throwing itself
into traffic and causing damage and possibly
killing people? We think that it is exactly what
Bambi’s mission is. Deer-related accidents also
can kill our customers in some accidents which means
we lose money in the long run because we
have to pay for their car and they will never send
money again, not to mention that we can’t
raise our rates to get even more money. Deer are
very unpredictable and seem to love to hurt
us, but we want them all dead so that we can have
the maximum profit possible. In our
conclusion, we need more ways to kill deer in the
long run. One way is to extend hunting season.
By extending hunting season, this can reduce the
deer population more than what the normal
season would. Also that the limit of deer killed per
person should be raised to 7 deer because
that would also help with the extension of hunting
season and less deer would be around as well.
Another way of killing the deer population would
be to raise the predators’ population of the
deer and include them in hunting season to balance
the population and it would help when
hunting season is over to balance the population
when hunting season is over.

Yeah . . . about the whole deer being suicidal thing
. . . THEY DON'T GET KILLED ON
PURPOSE! Humans are at fault for this. We clearcut
their forests and pave roads
through their fields. They expect to be walking
into a nice quiet little wooded area and .
. . BAM! They are smack dab in the middle of a
highway with cars zooming by all around
them and they confused and act like, well a deer in
headlights. Yes, I'm sure they love
to go out with a bang . . . or rather with cars
honking all around them.
