Doe, a Deer

The east bank of the Hudson River is dotted with charming river towns one of which is the village of Hastings-on-Hudson - all 2.2 square miles- sandwiched between Yonkers to the south and Dobbs Ferry to the north. I once lived in Hastings from 1976 to 1985 and never once saw a deer. All this has changed as the town is being overrun by deer and the deer tick is causing many cases of lyme disease.
Shooting them is out of the question in such a concentrated residential area. To the rescue comes the scientists from Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine offering "birth control" - immunocontraception by vaccine. This is in keeping with the village's "strong character of nonviolence."
