Leeds Council may want to kill urban deer !

Leeds council are touting the Idea of culling wild deer living near the city centre



imagine your excitement, you take your children for a walk from the mountains of concrete that has become Leeds, tens of thousands of cars belching out fumes as you leave kirkstall road and head for kirkstall valley, a small strip of land just outside the town centre, from the bushes you sight a urban deer, extinct from this area for hundreds of years, you are treated to the beauty of nature, well not any more, Leeds city council are to vote upon the culling of these deer following a complaint from a small holder that they are eating his crops, the trader says he should not need a fence, he wants the deer dead, and the council are listening.
The question, what will we do, stand by or get off our backsides and
"save the Kirkstall deer"

I feel a similar affinity with the urban fox, squirrels and pigeons which bring interesting wildlife to the concrete jungle of inner city London, and a deer was spotted in West Hampstead, but the council would kill all of these "vermin" if they could. They are afraid nature's scavengers recycle the rubbish from the micro-chipped bins, because then they can't charge us for emptying it.

save them!

Leeds City Council has a Labour majority. New Labour are animal abusers

The British Labour Party are control freaks. Tony Blair doesn't care about animals – Tony Blair got rid of the Number 10 Downing Street cat and Blair has never supported animal rights. Tony Blair tried to prevent anti fox hunting bills going through Parliament. And now people against animal testing are treated as terrorists. Animals suffer more cruelty under New Labour - money is their motive.


Now Leeds City Council want to kill deer. New Labour are liars and don't support ecology or the environment.
