As the Town and Country Board of Aldermen prepares to vote on a city deer management plan, residents mail and receive postcards against the use of lethal methods of deer control.

The postcards are included in the PDF portion of this article. The cards state they were sent out by the Committee for Safe and Responsible Deer Management.
