Ann Arbor cutting down trees so they can shoot deer who eat trees

There's too many deer in Ann Arbor.

And because there's too many deer, according to MLive.com, researchers and residents are concerned they'll eat a lot of the trees. Solution? Cut down a lot of trees, so you can see the deer and shoot them. So they don't destroy the trees. I know. I'm lost, too.

I get it. The real damage from the deer are the seedlings, so if they cut down a few bigger trees and shoot enough deer, the seedlings will be able to grow. Not to mention the reduction in car/deer accidents as a byproduct. But, some people have a problem with this plan.

Good grief. Here's the story.
