Summary Of For Environmental Balance Pick Up A Rifle

A story published December 4, 2005 by The New York Times, columnist, Nicholas D. Kristof called “For Environmental Balance, Pick Up a Rifle”. It is a piece about the destruction that an unchecked deer population is causing in North America, but seem to focus more data from New Jersey and New York. The article talks about wasted money, death to humans, other events, and even compares the likely hood of being killed by Bambi (Disney movie about a deer) instead of Osama Bin Laden (terrorist) who was alive at the time of this original running of this piece.

So even if you don’t eat meat, this event of overpopulation of deer or other animals is effecting the foods you do eat. Think of it another way, if you have less of something because of what ever reason. Then that product will go up in cost, you will have to pay more. There are many reasons why hunting is needed to help control our eco
