Is there a way of dealing with this problem, other than what I have posed here, that would not affect the animal’s interests in any way? Is there any way to justify any method as not being morally wrong?
I would have to agree that when I heard about the method of giving deer contraceptives it didn’t settle right with my moral conscience. I think anything a human could do to solve a problem like the overpopulation of deer would always interfere in some way with the animals interests. You are correct in saying that nature has a way of working itself out and it is in fact our own fault that we deal with these problems, we did build our roads in their territory. I personally think it takes away the deer’s natural rights to reproduce which seems like an awful thing to do. I think it is a very difficult issue, but I guess at least they are trying to save the lives of the deer by giving them contraceptives; it is a step in the right direction.
Do you agree that in any solution the interests of the animal will be compromised even if we are trying not to interfere with natural processes?
