SPARE THE DEER

I agree with those folks who think that white deer would be a travesty. And perhaps nature does deny the albino deer the protection of camouflage. But why does a person need to go hunting it down? The deer has enough problems being a misfit among its kin. Let the deer live. Nature will track it.

Those who want to shoot should go to a range; those who want meat should go to the local market.
