The Irish Examiner View: Neglect the cause

A deer cull is underway in Killarney National Park and at least 15 animals have been removed over recent days.

Animal rights activists will protest at the idea of any cull but at least this one is being carried out in daylight which should mean that any injured animals can be dealt with quickly. Animals injured during night-time culling can be difficult to track and may suffer inordinately.
