They actually BELIEVE this????????? I knew this was a bunch of bozo's, but man.....this is unbelievable.
Yes. Last fall either PETA or another animal rights group came up with a campaign blaming car-deer crashes on the fact that hunters, in the woods, were chasing the deer out and onto roads.
You may laugh, but I could see this approach used on a state level to either restrict hunting, lower conservation budgets, or raise fees to pay for the damage. Plenty of people would believe it.
