Bambi syndrome.

Mustn't shoot Bambi!

On the other hand, where a deer population has bloomed, the wolves and cougars cannot be far behind.

So perhaps we should just leave things alone and watch what happens as the deer and their natural enemies encroach into your parks and playgrounds.

I'd rather see a few guys with bows running around my neighborhood than a pack of wolves, thank you.
