The No Deer Hunter
Panic on the streets of Fairfield!
After a particularly contentious deer management meeting on Tuesday night at which animal rights activist Nancy Rice berated Commissioner Landon Storrs saying, “You’re evil, you’re a killer!” Storrs has decided to resign from the sub-committee saying, “I’m afraid of these people.”
Storrs told the Minuteman she filed a non-actionable complaint with the Town of Fairfield Police Department against Rice who she said threatened Storrs and another committee member, Joan Neiley, as they walked to their cars yelling, “You’ll be sorry for this!”
And your little dog too! Fairfield is experiencing problems with too many deer, having an estimated 75 per square mile where 10 to 15 will do. The subcommittee is considering a cull like that in nearby Greenwich a few years ago, which “took out 80 deer at a cost of $47,000 with the carcasses donated to a New York soup kitchen that processed the meat for free.”
Later there was a protest by the anti-hunting group Friends of Animals, led by the aforementioned Rice:
The protesters’ initial press release said they would march from Sherman Green to Old Town Hall, however, all but one protester got into their cars and drove the quarter-mile.
Take it from me: they were in SUVs.
