Doe a Deer, A Female Deer

I listened in amusement to the news about the rich, polo playing man who adopted his young attractive girlfriend.  Everyone seems to think this is the first time they had ever heard of this happening.  But in Fairhope, Alabama, we had the same story almost 20 years ago.  At that time it was a very sick, rich old man who decided to adopt his much younger, very sexy, nurse, not long after he paid for her breast implants and face lift. He had wanted to marry her but when she refused, citing public outrage, so he just adopted her instead.   He got his back rubs and she got the house and all the money. People pretty much do what they want in life unless someone stops them from doing it. That  brings me to the sad news that my neighborhood association is once again culling - nice word for killing - our deer. Originally they stated this was humanitarian in nature because the deer were sickly due to being malnourished.  The only problem with that is the USDA report stated the deer were healthy and the doe were almost all pregnant and many with twins.  Now its the environment that is suffering because of the deer.  Meaning somebody wants hydrangeas in their front yard and the golfers are having their games ruined by the continuous grazing. So they will hire l0 rednecks with night vision goggles and spot lights to sit on the golf course at night in various locations, baited with deer corn,  where the poor, hungry pregnant doe and their yearlings will get in line for the buffet only to be shot.  Even in Alabama we don't kill and eat pregnant deer.  Everything else is on the table, literally.  So the deer will be eaten and the fetuses discarded and the garden club and the golfers will be happy. Not as much adoption going on up here in the mountains, but plenty of nasty business.
