LWIF EP194: Japan’s Deer Problem

I went into making this video knowing that Japan had an overpopulation of deer and had come across the idea (in several places) that eating more deer could be a more humane way of controlling the population. I learned that doing that is easier said than done and that it could never be a 100% solution. I’m guessing that hunters and environmentalists probably already knew this.
