We the People- We the Deer: Poem by Jeannette Louise Smith
We the People - We the Deer
26 Deer
used to roam
freely in their forested home
Before last year
I walked, delighted
on twisted paths
near the creek
relaxed, blissful
Now I walk
The Path of Grief
through haunted trees
Tormented
disgusted, enraged
No happy memories
As December nears
I cringe:
More stolen lives
Our Deer
They want to kill up to 90!
This year
More Deer
will Needlessly die
Money and Time
Wasted
on senseless
Violence - Killing
Outdated!
It is a Crime
Against Morality
Against Nature
You are GUILTY!
26 Deer
used to roam
26 Deer
Murdered - in their rightful home
Next year,
Compassion
Humane Science
Will Reign!
We the People:
The citizens of Arlington County are creating a stronger, more united County.
We want to create a fair and just decision making process,
keep peace with Deer, support their well-being,
protect Deer from the threat of death,
and guarantee their freedom for ourselves and future generations.

NO KILLING DEER IN ARLINGTON ™ |
The second Arlington County Deer Kill Program will begin in December 2026 through February 2027 in our local parks. We object to the Arlington, Virginia County Board’s decision to hire Wildlife Resources, LLC to sharpshoot our deer.
