📰 News we're reading

• Three Michigan cities begin joint deer cull because "deer don't respect municipality limits" (michiganpublic.org) — Farmington, Farmington Hills, and Southfield are launching a joint deer cull using federal sharpshooters in non-residential areas, aiming to cut back a fast-growing herd affecting yards, forests, and road safety. Supporters cite rising deer-car crashes and disease risks, while opponents argue the cull is inhumane and push for coexistence strategies instead.
