Signed and shared. Why do they need culling ... they are doing no harm.

Signed! The next "cull" that needs to be stopped is the barbaric, state sanctioned and mass scale deer "culling" in Scotland. "Culling" is just a glorified smokescreen that is literally just another term for shooting and hunting. *Killing to lower numbers in the long term rarely ever works owing to the "Vacuum effect": https://www.alleycat.org/resources/the-truth-about-the-vacuum-effect/ and the fact that animals will often just compensate by having more offspring than usual to offset their fall in numbers by killing: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/11/001122183103.htm

*Despite how long and how many poor deers have been "culled" in Scotland, their numbers have virtually remained the same, and *some estimate their numbers have even actually increased, since the very start of the "cull" (*https://www.leeds.ac.uk/research-32/news/article/5734/reintroducing-wolves-to-scottish-highlands-could-help-address-climate-emergency), proving it is ineffective to say the least. It would be far more humane and efficient to either reintroduce once native predators (such as wolves or lynxes) which would also be better for biodiversity, and/or humane birth control: https://www.four-paws.org.uk/campaigns-topics/topics/help-for-horses/help-for-wild-horses.

IT IS THE FIRST THING HUMANS GO FOR, TO KILL OTHER LIVING CREATURES THAT CANNOT DEFEND THEMSELVES VERBALLY OR PHYSICALLY, INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR A HUMANE METHOD OF DEALING WITH SITUATIONS.
