1. What methods do people think of to deal with the growing population of white-tailed deer?
Catching and moving them to other places; developing chemicals to control the population; bringing in natural enemies; building tall walls around areas.
2. Do you think "leaving the deer alone" is a good idea? Why or why not?
Yes. Because animal populations naturally go up and down, and finally the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity of the environment. / No. Because doing nothing means some deer will die of hunger or illness, and deer may cause problems like eating crops and causing traffic accidents. (Either answer is acceptable with a reasonable reason.)
