    You wouldn’t need to sterilize more deer for population control than with hunting, obviously. You’d need to sterilize less in total because they’d still compete for food and habitat, just have no offspring. How is that unfeasible? I never said that you’d have to sterilize every single one lol, just enough to impact the fertility of their population in regions where its necessary due to human influence.

      So you’re sterilising deer for literally nothing, as a sterilised deer still has to eat, deary.

      “How is that unfeasible”

      Because the non-spayed deer will just procreate more. You’re not doing population control at all with your approach, even if it was possible. I ask you, do you think you can take a fishing pole and fish a lake empty? No, ofc not, that is ridiculous. What your proposing is equally if not more ridiculous. You’re thinking about nature as if it was a fenced area that you are in charge of. Very arrogant of you, tbh.

      You’re the type of person who gives veganism a bad name, imo. You’re probably one of those people who think “Thanos was right”, huh?
