Post 18: I am not a tree hugger, either, but since I've seen a couple hundred of them (many centurians) in their death throes on the ground, I think I'm going to go out on the battlefield and hug one right now.

You sound like you think you own the park, or worse, that your suffering under the delusion that you and the park have a special, supernatural bond that is simply beyond others understanding. I'm not saying that you are- but that's the way you are coming across.

Also, trees don't really have death throes- they pretty much just fall over when they are cut down. As far as killing the deer let's face it, they are in no danger of extinction. A strong argument can be made that they are so overpopulating our environment that they are a pestilence. Their only remaining predators are cars.
