<h1><strong>Episode Description</strong></h1><p><br></p><p>Anyone living on the East End has likely witnessed the consequences of deer overpopulation on human life. But arguably no one understands the gravity of this issue quite like those who work directly with these animals. In the second episode of <em>Deer Humans,</em> I speak with two wildlife rescuers whose paths crossed one day under unimaginable circumstances. These passionate rescuers, who act as fierce defenders of their four-legged friends, help to uncover some sinister secrets surrounding deer management on the East End. And when it comes to exposing the ugly truth, they’re not holding back. </p><p><br></p><h1><strong>Show Notes</strong></h1><p><br></p><p>All music in this episode is courtesy of<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.sessions.blue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Blue Dot Sessions</a>.</p><p><br></p><h3><strong>Sources referenced in this episode:</strong></h3><p>Democrat & Chronicle: <a href="https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2016/04/22/new-rules-irk-wildlife-rehabilitators/83022222/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New N.Y. rules irk wildlife rehabilitators</a></p><p>Animal Legal & Historical Center: <a href="https://www.animallaw.info/case/evelyn-alexander-wildlife-rescue-ctr-inc-v-new-york-state-dept-envtl-conservation" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">EVELYN ALEXANDER WILDLIFE RESCUE CENTER INC. and Virginia Frati, Petitioners, v.
