Is it any coincidence that people shoot deer and not

loring there. Deer kicking people, poking them with their pointy antler
Ihingies, and yes, shiving children in the lunch line with sharpened spoons.

Speaking of which, if one were to doubt the evil of the deer, one need

)f the upper cable channels who fights the most vicious animals on
iarth. Lines like, “This is the most venomous snake in the world,
low I am going to punch him in the face ... Oh he’s really miffed
now," have made the crocodile-hunting Aussie the most famous
inimal fighter in the world.
Yet, when has he ever fought a deer? If he is so tough, he would
lave shellacked those fuzzy little critters long ago. Still, he shies
away from a duel with the deer. This is not because he is a
‘bofty,” as the Australians might say — it is because deer kill.
In order to prove this assertion, one has to look back in histo
ry. There have been numerous hits ordered by deer, but we will
investigate only the most famous.

In fact, none of this is happening, and deer do not hurt people.
Love them and pet them. But kill the little buckaroos if they look at

That is what the Second Amendment is all about. Killing wildlife.
Nothing is cooler than going to a wildlife reserve and shooting en

Praise those who venture out to rid us of these psychotic assassins of
the animal kingdom. They save us from the hordes of malevolent deer
that would surely accumulate and euthanize mankind as a whole. The
fourth reich, the deer reich.
As for me, I will likely be sitting in my study, thinking of my summers
in Rangoon, pouring mustard on my chest and waiting. Waiting for the
day when the deer will come for their revenge. That day will come,
and when it does, I will sit in my overstuffed leather chair with
my shotgun in my hand and my chaw in my mouth.
But I will take hostages beforehand, and when the
great 10-point buck comes to throttle me, I will slaughter
the fawns like so many chickens at an Ozzy Osbourne
concert. Amen.
