Narrative:
Over the past month or so a herd of deer have taken up residence on the airport. They generally come out early in the morning and at dusk. Airport management has been notified about the situation. The deer have crossed in front of aircraft while taxiing and during landing roll. It is only a matter of time before loss of equipment and/or life results. The deer must be removed or destroyed for safety of all aircraft. Destroying the deer may seem cruel but how will someone feel if someone gets killed because of these deer.
