Deer died painfully when trap collapsed

[Catherine]

Trapping and then killing is inherently cruel. The deer was trying to escape when the trap collapsed. He must have sensed that being in the trap was very dangerous. He died cruelly, but he would have been killed anyhow. 

Oak Bay has the answer. They are humanely reducing the deer numbers.  I wish every place that is planning a cull would look at the example of Oak Bay first. Culls kill animals, but they also have a negative effect on the people involved in the cull. It has to effect your  thinking to just randomly kill animals to get rid of them.
