TOWN AND COUNTRY, Mo. (KMOX) – Concerned residents of Town and Country have planned a candlelight vigil for deer that have been killed in the St. Louis suburb.
The city hired sharp shooters to kill urban deer, and organizers say after Town and Country spent “thousands of dollars of public monies” to kill deer over the last several years, deer-and-car collisions remain about the same.

The vigil is in order because they've got some tough deer there ... they don't go down without a hell of a fight.
I’d think a venison cookout would be far more appropriate and far more fun. Venison is yummy.
I’m okay with deer planning vigils as long as they keep it orderly and don’t go trampling people’s rights.
Yumm! And as for the “sharp [sic] shooters”, what’s wrong with a bunch of us Billy-Bobs?
I’ll remember that as I eat the venision pot roast that has been slow cooking all day!
Deer lives matter?
Are they planning on performing The Rite of the Dancing Wood Nymph to make up for the killing? Click on the link and fast forward to 18:41 to see the actual rite. It's SFW.
"What do we have here? A little 'stag party'?"
Tail up...don’t shoot.
I have a solution! Shoot the cars!
But 100 Deer, for $46,000? What was being used for ammo? Seems to me that you could put a couple of bowhunters to work for a month or two, take care of well over 100 deer, and donate the deermeat to a local food pantry. Problem solved.
But then, I'm not a liberal.
“Billy-Bob” is not pigmented for AgencyPerson approval in this Regime.
Further, “Billy-Bob” can cull the deer herd for free, and might even pay a small fee per deer. However, income means nothing compared to growing one’s agency, hence “authorized Bambi-Blasters”.
I wonder if the "concerned" residents hold candlelight vigils for aborted babies? Or are deer, chickens, rabbits, etc. more important to those with disordered minds?
Just when I think the world can’t get any weirder, it does.
Like Give Me a Break!
I think venison has less cholesterol than beef too.
I can be over for dinner in 10 minutes (joking).
Well, there goes another good riot plan.
I have the same disdain for country living yahoos who target fish out of season and poach animals the year round.......
Plus mostly grass fed and not injected with feed lot hormones . . .
The deer population reached unprecedented levels in the 1990s, leading to a city-sponsored program from 1999-2002 that moved deer to rural areas. The Missouri Department of Conservation stopped the program when it found most of the deer were dying from "capture myopathy" due to stress that caused major organs to shut down.
A deer control program of sterilization and sharpshooting was subsequently deemed more humane and effective and approved in 2008.
The deer population continued to grow and the program was switched to sharpshooting only in 2011-2012.
