Park Service found shooting deer in Rock Creek on Dec 8

On the 8th of December, The National Park Service's contract deer shooters showed up the earliest they have yet been seen to kill deer in Rock Creek Park. They claim 300 deer in Rock Creek is too many, even though there are nearly 600,000 people in the surrounding city. Animal rights activists are patrolling the woods to document and when possible disrupt this "cull" of the Rock Creek Deer

The Park Service contracts USDA's "wildlife services" to do the shooting, even though Wildlife Services is notorious for cruelty to animals in other areas. They are known for using poisons and traps against coyotes in particular
