Drivers Should Slow Down: Further Response To the Hit and Run Incident Involving a Deer

To the Editor:

I agree with Jerome Silbergeld’s letter (“Deer Victim of Hit and Run Event”) in the Nov. 28 Mailbox. There is no reason why this poor deer had to be hit the way he was. Like Mr. Silbergeld, I also am “ tired of hearing that these beautiful creatures are pests.”

Could it be that this driver and other drivers who have hit deer maybe are driving too fast? It would be a safer world for all of us — humans and animals — if we were all calmer and more attentive on the roads.
