British Columbia Pet Owner Wants Deer Cull to Continue

Buster is a 10 year old chocolate Labrador. Reg Parsons is his owner, and was amazed at the injuries Buster came home with at the beginning of January. Buster walked in with puncture wounds that have amounted to over $700 in veterinary bills. Parsons believes Buster's injuries are from a whitetail deer attacking the dog. There is an urban herd that lives nearby, and close to a middle school.

Buster's vet said the injuries did not look like ones from another dog, but more similar to two other dogs' injuries he had seen after being attacked by whitetails.

The City of Cranbrook had just ended their culling of the whitetail deer after harvesting 25 in December. Parsons believes the culling needs to continue. He is worried that the whitetails could kill or injure residents of the town. He said those that are protesting the culling don't understand how brutal the deer can be. From The Townsman.
