Oshkosh city council decided to hire sharpshooters to rid the quarry of deer deemed nuisances to neighboring properties (destroying landscaping, etc). This has created quite a controversy as many feel other humane options exist. The deer have been there for many years and the propery owners purchased this propery knowing these creatures grazed in the neighboring quarry. Now they have asked the council to get rid of the nuisance and cull the herd. On the other side of this coin are the people in this city that love the deer and would like to see them stay or be relocated somewhere else. If you disagree with the councils decision to kill off the deer please sign the following petition.

Updates

February 5, 2009

The city council remains quiet on the deer removal plan but we know that our numbers are making them nervous. Post this link on your Facebook page and email your city representative today to demand a relocation plan instead of sharpshooters. We need to keep pressure on these officials until they choose a humane path.

February 5, 2009

We reached a major turning point today and the pressure on the city council is finally mounting. Please call the mayor today to demand an immediate pause on this cull. Post the petition link to your Facebook page right now so we keep this momentum moving forward.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SICK. relocating them isnt even that hard if they actually cared enough to try.

Ridiculous decision. Stop killing innocent animals just cuz they eat a few plants.

its so sad to hear this. the quarry is their home. our town council should be ashamed for listening to people who just care about their flowers.

Waste of tax payer money to bring in sharpshooters. let the herd be.

Those deer were there first. People move next to a quarry then complain about nature being nature. Just leave them alone.

My kids love seeing those deer every time we drive by. find another way to handle this without shooting them.
