there is no right or wrong when it comes to the time someone or something passes away, its just the natural course of things, and if it is to survive, then it wasnt its time.

Obviously, the whiners who posted the "poor little bambi" comments don't have to live in an environmement where there these "urban cows' have become such a nuisance and a menace. With no natural predators left, they have reproduced to a point that nature had never intended and have lost all fear of humans. They graze on our lawns, eat our vegetable gardens clean and stupidly jump in front of our cars as we try to get around. Add to that, they are the primary intermediate hosts of the Deer Ticks that cause Lyme Disease that has crippled untold numbers of innocent citizens.

Call your state game commission and tell them to issue more hunting licenses if that's how you feel, or go buy your own. Petition to get rights to shoot deer that go onto your property if you live in the suburbs. (sarcasm) In PA we'd be drooling if we had this problem. Perhaps you'd like to trap a herd of your deer and send them here? I'd love to know what state you're from. The deer population in PA is horrendously miniscule, and there are TONS of hunters here that would be glad to take these "pests" off your hands.
Actually, you know what, if you have such a problem with them, why don't you take your whiny little city body home and live in a high rise apartment. I doubt you'd have this problem there.

Or head out driving on I80 in the middle of the state. PA ranks #1 in human/deer fatalities, 112 or so in 2008. PA also ranked #1 in deer/vehicle accidents in the same year. Most people I know with trucks in rural areas have grill protectors not for looks and to hang lights on, but to protect the truck from deer damage.

First off, I doubt the car was going that fast. I don't see how it could go that fast and get such detailed pictures. Second, if you lived in a place with deer and other wildlife such as turkeys that tend to wander onto roads, you'd know that sometimes the wildlife gets hit. Depending on where the deer got hit and how fast the car was going, it could have only broken a leg, or a few ribs or something. In that case, the deer might take a bit to get itself up, but it would be fine getting away.
Don't assume the worst about people. I seriously doubt Google employees would purposely do a "deer hit and run." I don't think they got THAT hungry. And even if they were THAT hungry, I seriously doubt they know how to skin and gut a deer.

In most parts of the USA, if you can drive down a street or highway, gravel road or what ever and NOT hit a deer you are one lucky driver. Check out the car insurance co. statistics and you will know what I mean. Just one less deer to grow up and make more deer. The whitetail deer population nation wide is more than triple what it was only 30 years ago and people whine cause us hunters kill and eat them? Get off your wagons and help solve the problem.

No, the deer are that bad at running. They run out without stopping for vehicles. I have been hit by deer, not the other way around. Once, I came to a complete stop when the first deer crossed the road. Usually when you see one, there are a couple more as well. The second one decided to jump the hood of my car, denting it and smashing the headlight for good measure. The third one went around the car. Another time I had one jump down a steep embakement and land right in front of the car, nowhere for me to go. In both cases, although initially stunned, the deer ran off.

Yes. Each state has crews that canvas the streets specifically to pick up and dispose of roadkill. Though it often happens that the crows eat most of it before the crew shows up.

Actually, in some states, if you are fine but the animal is most definitely dead, all you have to do is call the DNR, tell them you killed the animal, and you can take it home with you. Only way I've ever taken an deer home. It's a common practice in Michigan.

It's true. I live in rural NY state and it is an expected (and always sad) sight every year, to see dead deer on the roadsides. Tellingly, it happens most commonly in early spring and in late autumn. In spring, the deer are hungry from the winter and looking for grass to eat at the roadsides (which of course are mowed and therefore have plenty of grass), or crossing the roads to seek new terrain with hopefully more food available. In fall, they are trying to escape the hunting, and they gather near human habitations (therefore, near roads) because they subliminally figured out that humans are not allowed to hunt deer in areas inhabited by humans.

My brother delivers morning newspapers. Apparently deer whistles don't work here (people have said), for whatever reason. My brother hit a deer. The deer was flung across the road, and the van sustained enough damage to cost five thousand dollars in repairs. The insurance company paid forty-five hundred of that.
Some CalTrans workers were found to have been placing roadkill animals in secluded places along the roads. Then it was found that many other CalTrans people did so. The animals had to be taken away, because their decomposition releases toxic chemicals into the wild, and into the watershed.
Fresh ones are turned into food for places which serve homeless people.

IMO It's very sad when deer get hit and killed on roads, but at least in my state they are taken to either the wolf park or the big cat sanctuary for a natural disposal for their bodies- just like nature intended... If there are other states where you have too many deer to be disposed of properly, perhaps you need your own big cat or wolf park.

Polar Bears live on the ice. they travel the ice flows and have been tracked swinning over 300 miles across open ocean fron the north american continent to norway. People who believe that because polar bears are seen traveling on ice flows that they are "drowning" and endangered deserve to pay their carbon taxes like aL'gORE does, oh wait. And, polar bears aren't endangered, anyone wholistens to al'gORE is "endangered".
FhnuZoag

Look, man, use a little logic. Humans have been observed swimming the English channel. In 1998, one human swam the Atlantic ocean.
Can all humans swim the Atlantic ocean? Can humans survive if you have to swim your way in ice cold water to get to work or to find food? Can human children swim this same distance? Can humans work while swimming? Do you think that the vast majority of humankind would survive if cities disappeared underwater?
And the thing is, none of this is supposition. We don't look at swimming bears and conclude they are drowning. We observe *drowned bears* and conclude they are drowning. We look at decreasing population counts in areas where the ice is melting and conclude they are endangered.
Polar Bear population are up and this study is 10 years old. In the 1960s the world Polar Bear population was estimated at 7000 to 17000. Today there are an estimated 22000 to 28000.
Polar Bears were labeled as endangered not because they are, but because they could be, if the computer models are correct.
If the Ice melts we could see a decline in Bear populations, but the ice isn't melting. 2007 saw an increase in sea ice and 2008 is already 150,000 square miles ahead of 2007.
What if your outdated study and computer models are wrong? Will you say sorry for the mistake?
