Deer cull `wrong and disgraceful'

Re: “Habitat threatened” (Montreal Gazette, Dec. 1)

With regards to the frontpage photo of two deer enjoying their habitat in Longueuil, my heart breaks for those animals marked for culling — in other words, mass execution.

Leonardo da Vinci is credited with saying: “The day will come when people like me will view the murder of an animal the same way they view that of a man today.”

Sadly, that day has not arrived, and people still play God, thinking we are above the animal kingdom. It's wrong and it's disgraceful.
