# I'm not at all disagreeing that there should be far fewer people
But since the deer are an introduced species, and tasty to boot, I don't have a real problem with the proposed cull.

# when buying long pig
i find it best not to go for the cheaper end of the market as it is rather fatty, pale and lime with a slightly smoky after taste.

# Depends which deer.
Roe and Red are native. From a birdwatching perspective humans are self-introduced, so that's fine.

# Reds are mostly hybridised with imported Sika deer
and the fact that we've managed to kill off all the wolves and bears also means they don't have any natural predators anyway

I'm surprised it's true in the Highlands, but apparently so, at least on the mainland.

# I only did it because the thought of scientist deer working in a lab together, constantly tangling antlers when trying to do fiddly experiments made me laugh
It's got BBC3 sitcom written all over it :D
