Sign Petition to

Save the Exotic Deer of Point Reyes National

Seashore

 

The National Park Service (NPS) plans to shoot and exterminate the

beautiful fallow and spotted axis deer living at the Point Reyes National

Seashore simply because they are non-native. All impacts claimed by the park in

their Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), however, are minor or

speculative. As there is no crisis, the park has the time to implement a humane

wildlife contraception program, which has been used to manage deer populations

nationally and with elk living at the seashore.

 

A deadly hunt that will needlessly kill these unique animals who have resided

in Point Reyes since 1948, when they were

placed there by humans. Please help IDA remind the NPS of their ethical

obligation to exhaust all non-lethal methods before resorting to violence.

 

 

 

1) Please sign IDA's petition to

stop the slaughter of these beautiful deer.

 

2) Please click http://ga0.org/campaign/ptreyesdeer

method of controlling the exotic deer population at Point Reyes National Seashore.
