    Yea, was gonna say. The whole deer problem is 100% man made, but it wasn’t cars per se. Just good ole fashioned urbanization absolutely destroying the populations of their predators. Now there’s more deer than ever before, and that’s not great for them or us.

    Cara have now taken over for wolves. Weirdly, the wolves probably had a better success and survival rate since the humble deer is almost purpose built for fucking up a car. Deer have been seemingly drafted by nature to be the true terroristic avengers of the Earth only surpassed but the moose. But they don’t have the sheer weight of numbers just sheer weight.
