Culls are dangerous and impractical in urban, suburban, and residential areas.

Culls may increase the transmission of diseases like CWD, by breaking up herds into several spread out herds. These smaller herds may join up with previously unaffected deer in surrounding areas.

Lethal removal only leaves room for more animals to move in.
