Stop the Senseless Slaughter of Deer in Suburban/Urban Environments

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. Other cities will follow and make this grave mistake.

The fight for humane solutions is far from over in Farmington Hills and in other cities across Michigan.

Many residents and wildlife advocates argue there are far more humane, effective and nonlethal science-based solutions that are ignored by city governments.

Learn about humane strategies like the nonlethal fertility control method of sterilization, public education, fencing, and safe coexistence.

Speak up by calling and sending emails and demand humane, science-based, effective nonlethal solutions for our communities.

Please send your objections to Governor Gretchen Whitmer, your State Senator and House Representative. Let them know that you only support effective nonlethal methods to be implemented in residential areas to resolve deer conflicts with residents.
