Dear Deer Reader,
Yesterday, I was listening to the following sound clip on Doggystyle’s blog. For those of you that can’t listen, which is a shame because it is greatness, it is a call into a radio station from a woman named Donna. She is very concerned about the deer population crossing the street. She is trying to raise awareness in the community so they will move the deer crossing signs to safer places for the deer to cross. She suggested maybe asking the deer to cross in school zones.
I think she has a point. We do need to change the crossing signs so that they are not near the highway. I suggest maybe we move them to the middle of the woods, or maybe even to Middle Earth. Personally, I don’t know why deer hunters didn’t think of this years ago.
We, the citizens of the world, need to take heed of this real life issue. It is no laughing matter. Then I started thinking there is a plethora of animals that are crossing in the wrong places. Those pesky armadillos are always in my way. Those squirrels are beyotches.
We need to take a stand. Every comment on this blog is a signature on the petition. This petition’s goal: to entice the deer to cross at crosswalks that are also for humans.

Lady or Not…Here I Come!
we over here have to kill many bears, do you need any?
No bears here.
Full of an appeal.
The last thing I need at my school is for the students to be forced inside by a herd of paranoid deer who traveled all the way there to cross the road.
LOL yes, but the chickens… the poor dears will even have more issues.
Well they’ve already been forced inside from recess by runaway horses this year. Not even kidding.
??
Kangaroos are smart enough to use underpasses. How smart are deer?
Not very smart apparently.
Consider me signed-up!
You are a trouper.
OMG… a DEERMADILLO!!!
I got hit by a 10 point buck, literally. Rutting season, chasing a doe, it came out of the dark, hit the passenger side front quarter, rolled, windshield (me), rolled, passenger side door (me), backdoor, etc. I got lucky with just bruises and knicks.
Told gooseyboy to get out and load the damn thing in the car…after all that it was going to be my dinner! He was too chicken it would come to in the back seat, wuss…
hahaha I love how much fun you are. It would have been awesome if you had eaten him.
It would have been sweet vengance, lol. Not to mention a nice full freezer! He was a big fella.
I am sure these guys are getting in your way.

BTW – am I last? am I last?
They are! LOL. Are you last? no.
In Romania we have many many stray dogs and they cross the street properly. They even wait for the green color, unlike many Romanian humans. Maybe I should send some there to train the deer?
LOL or maybe you need the deer to train the humans there?
Or that.
I feel like we are forgetting of a huge part of the population, gators in the swamps, what happened to the Gator sign?
You see, Gators are the ugly step children of crocodiles. The crocodiles have started a movement to take away gator rights. They hope, soon, that people will stop acknowledging their existence.
There simply are no words. She fits the bill for our next president.
I don’t agree. Humans ahould cross the streets in the forest instead.
hmm you make a valid point.
As I commented on doggystyle’s blog, we have a local woman who wants to protect coyotes.
Well coyotes have feeling too. Poor Whil E. is constantly being pestered by the road runner.
The Roadrunners are pesky, but being the State bird, they are protected. I think this woman would like to see the coyote be the state mammalian cockroach.
LOL we have both here too. Neither is the state anything. They are all in immanent danger when they show up around these parts. Most people have guns.
So you’re saying that my experience at cat herding may finally be in demand?
Indeed. You are now a master herder.
Oh good. I really need a job.
You’re job is to make me smile.
Better than being a master baiter.
That’d be terrific! My kids would love it
I hope you share it with them!
Avaaz.org reaches millions, and they allow us to start our own petitions. I think this needs to be sent their way. I know a few frog and turtle populations that are getting seriously out of hand too. And those damn wild turkeys? They cross wherever they damn well like. This must stop!!
You get right on that. I put you in charge! Stupid turkeys… good thing they are so tasty.
I am about to put my rusty armor on and charge again. I will give yo all due credit of course!
LOL
I can’t wait to see it.
Written and posted. I hope I do your inspiration justice
Going to go check it out.
it seems animals are just like humans cross the road any way they what think they own the road,
the ones hiding the nuts are waiting for the end of time lol
LOL indeed they are.
I saw this when I had to drive to Michigan a few years ago. I still regret not buying it. A bit early for WTF Friday but… deer crack: http://www.deer-crack.com/
haha love it!

LOL
sign me up! lol
Yay… You’re winning so far!
The deer have told me they want to move to Texas to avoid stupid ladies that run through the deer crossing signs.
LOL Those poor deer.
I move we place the deer crossing sign into the space her brain should be occupying. Clearly, there’s room… LMAO. I hope she becomes the crossing guard for the deer. I mean, we spend tax payer dollars on other things, like Rush Limbaugh’s libido issue. Why not employee this woman somewhere she’ll be appreciated? Hopefully, she doesn’t work anywhere critical our economy, like McDonald’s or Wendy’s…
lol Best comment so far
And here we present you the dumbass of the year! lolol.. #Oh Deer!
lol exactly
how about a sign pointing texanians to mexico. what’s my prize?
nada zippo
Here we have a stupid sign that says “Children at Play”, why do I care what kind of performing arts they are into, and why would their watching Shakespeare alter my driving habits?
Because you have to decide to be, or not to be.
We need a deer whisperer.
You want to apply for the job?
why not
Personally, I am applying for the cuddling job I wrote about in that wtf post.
I’m skilled at cuddling, maybe I’ll apply too.
I just wish my dog would “go” outside, rather than in my house.
Maybe I can make him a sign.
Randy
yes, the sign would fix all your problems.
I don’t want my problems fixed.
Only my dog’s
How could I NOT comment?!?
Yes, give those deer the boot! Or four boots … ? Or … something. =P
lol You HAVE to comment.
4 boots are better than one.
Last person? Check!
You’re winning, as of now.
Oh dear… poor deer! lol
I know. I feel very sorry for the dear dear lady.
I bet you do!
All I can say is….. wow, three bucks in one season..Hunter of the year!!! Your killing me Becca…haha
i wonder if she had them mounted…i see 3 deer kills (little antlers) painted on her fender. i run on sorry..
I think she went car bowling for deer.
This is one of the greatest incidents ever recorded of pure, awesome, ignorance. The mere fact that she so strongly believes she is correct, is a force that causes great ecstasy in all things we think are funny.
Exactly. Without her stupidity, we might miss our giggles.
I just want to know where you are going to send this petition? Is it going to go to the Deer House or the Buck Senate? I hear those Elk are jealous and are pretty competitive lobbyists. They’ll get the NRA to pay for larger Elk and Moose signs and then the deer will retaliate by wanting toll crossings to segregate the Elk… everyone knows that Elk are in a lower tax bracket! I am not paying a child/deer/elk/moose crossings tax! I’m an American dammit! Where will this madness end???
Being an ‘Merican means it shall never ever ever ever end.
Interesting…I didn’t know that Deer could READ….No WONDER they ONLY cross at designated areas where there are signs…Maybe if we put up Deer Crossing Stoplights things would be better. What do YOU think?
xx
Sooz
I think you’re right.
Did I win???
as of now I win.
Damn…
a beaver builds one. Or a fish yells it when they swim into a wall. Word association, right?
Oh so close.
Yet no cigar.
Not far from where I live, many moons ago and a roughly equal number of suns, some possibly suggestible American airmen at a military base reported a possible UFO landing in Rendlesham Forest. This has made the location a bit of a tourist attraction and the forest rides (it’s mostly planted conifers) now have signs which say UFO TRAIL. I’m doubtful of the value of these. If another UFO did arrive, would the pilot be able to understand the alien writing, and even if she did, would she be bothered to obey it?
Ahh ok.. so, now tha… wait… WHAT!?
Lol, nope.
The sad thing about that caller is that she votes.
Yep. It seems par for the course.
“the last person to comment wins.”
this is unfair. of course, you’ll always be the last one.
Always always
I wonder if she’s related to the lady north of Toronto who wanted the school board to remove the oak trees from the property to protect children with nut allergies.
LOL I hadn’t heard of that. That is too funny. There are some very interesting people in this world.
