Anglican Archbishop speaks out against Kenora's Deer

Ontario's Minister of Natural Resources has received a strongly worded letter from a local religious leader.

Anglican Archbishop of Keewatin, David Ashdown has written a letter complaining about the deer population in Kenora.

Ashdown the deer have lost their fear of humans and are becoming unpredictable and agressive.
He suggests the crown has the responsibility of protecting local residents, but nothing has
been done to control the local deer population.

He goes on to say the minister has a moral obligation to take all steps necessary, including
"if necessary" a cull of the urban deer population.
