More than 600 people have signed a petition initiated by Animal Defenders of Westchester opposing what they describe as a “nighttime rifle ambush.” READ MORE HERE http://www.theexaminernews.com/animal-defenders-blast-teatown-over-plans-to-kill-deer/

  1. While a youngster growing up close to Teatown in the 1950s, I spent untold hours roaming the woods in that area. Later I earned a Masters degree in forest resources management, an education that taught me the difference between conservation ("Wise Use") versus preservation. Teatown went wrong when it adopted its Peter Rabbit -Bambi "educational" program which they now have to cope with. - Tom Neff
