The Farmington Hills City Council voted, on April 28, 2025, to approve a lethal deer cull even though a majority of residents are against the killing of deer in the city. The fight for humane solutions is far from over.

Their plan to allow archery hunting and firearm sharpshooting in residential areas puts families, children, and pets at risk — while causing unnecessary suffering to deer.

Even though the cull has been approved, we must continue to raise our voices:

• To demand accountability

• To call for safe, non-lethal alternatives

• To show city leaders that this decision does not represent the will of the community

Please send your objections to the city council members and mayor by sending emails and attending council meetings.

Let them know that you only support effective nonlethal methods to be implemented in the city to resolve deer conflicts with residents.
