Woman calls deer crossing signs ‘irresponsible,’ says deer should be redirected to low-traffic areas

http://wtkr.com/2012/10/18/woman-calls-deer-crossing-signs-irresponsible-says-deer-should-be-redirected-to-low-traffic-areas/

“It seems to me that it’s so irresponsible of us to allow these deer crossings to be in an area where these deer are so likely to be struck by oncoming traffic,” she said. “Wouldn’t you agree?”

The hosts found it difficult to respond, uttering “Errr…” at several junctures while holding back some measure of laughter.

Finally, one host attempts to explain that the deer crossing signs aren’t strategically placed to encourage the animals to cross at a particular location. Instead, the signs serve as a warning to drivers to be cautious on roadways where deer populations are large.

This explanation was apparently lost on Donna, who makes it clear that she is operating under the assumption that deer do indeed heed directives on traffic signs. She then offered a solution to the deer crossing epidemic she believes is plaguing the upper Midwest.

Relocate the deer crossing signs to nearby schools, Donna said, so that both the animals and children can safely cross the road together.

“The government can direct the deer population anywhere they want to” she said. “All they have to do is move that deer crossing sign.”

Well now, who can argue against that?
