The gutsy expose shows deer shooting preserves for what they are: exploitive, unethical and a significant threat to both traditional hunting and to wildlife in Indiana.
These facilities and the deer farmers should be shut down. The threat they pose to wildlife was explained in great detail in the series. For the Indiana General Assembly to not act on this would be grossly irresponsible.
I predict a coordinated attack on the findings of the Buck Fever series to be followed by legislation in the next session to make these facilities legal under the guise of economic development.
If successful, then we should legalize drugs and prostitution too because they too can be profitable even though unethical to most of the citizens of the state.
Wildlife is a public trust to be managed by the state in a manner that protects the resource for future generations.
It is not there for the squandering by select few who have the money and the influence to make the Indiana General Assembly dance at the pull of their strings.
Kudos to The Star and to Ryan Sabalow.
