Stop the Deer Slaughter

Express your outrage by  adding your name to IDA’s petition here to the National Park Service to end the slaughter.

Young. Old. Pregnant. Near tame. Lured by the sweet scent of crisp apples and earthy oats in the hushed midnight air…then murdered where they stood.

The National Park Service is slaughtering innocent urban deer on your tax dollar and mine. But you can help stop the madness by doing two simple things now:

Here’s how the National Park’s midnight horror unfolded:

Just this past March, IDA petitioned the National Park Service to drop its plans to “bait and kill” over 100 beloved and gentle white-tailed deer, whose ancestors have lived in Washington, DC’s, Rock Creek Park for over a century! We also launched a legal battle.

But the judge ruled it wasn’t up to the court. In a shocking countermove (despite a passionate public protest outside Rock Creek Park) the National Park Service moved into the park in the dead of night. They shot nearly two dozen tame and pregnant deer!
