‘Pill’ could aid deer control

It might sound silly to suggest a form of “the pill’’ for animals, or some other means of contraception to keep ou burgeoning deer population down. Not all that fanciful, however.

A reason cited regularly for the growth in deer numbers is that deer have no natural enemies here.

Wolves and lynx could be introduced as predators, but no marks for guessing how the IFA and farmers in general would react to that proposal! A non-runner.
