Cervidae Activist Attacks Continue

CARBONDALE, Ill. — Southern Illinois University is rolling out a public-awareness campaign about the hazards deer pose to humans, and it apparently couldn't come at a better time. A year ago, deer threatened or injured at least seven people on the university's Carbondale campus during fawning season. Now — with fawning season soon to reach its peak — campus police say three people were injured by a female deer Tuesday.
Deer, why do they hate us?
The latest victims were pedestrians on a path along Campus Lake, near the school's law building. Police say they received minor injuries. A university worker sustained a gash on her forehead that required stitches. A student got a scratched jaw, while another worker escaped with a sprained wrist, cuts and bruises. Experts blame much of the problem on protective mother deer.

#2  Cervidae 'activists', Steve? Next you'll be labeling them 'militants', which is utter nonsense. They're really cervid freedom fighters, conducting legitimate resistance operations against the hominid oppressors. Some of them are even carrying the original keys to their occupied forest homes.

#1  Yeah, when the Flordia 'Gators year of poaching so far this year had racked up 3 humans the other week, someone pointed out the deer had hammered 14 since the beginning of the year. Bambi, Creature of Peace[tm]. Yeah, we've seen that before.
