Boston authorities are grappling with a gruesome dilemma: what to do with Nantucket’s notorious deer population. The normally tranquil island is now a battleground, with animal welfare experts at odds over the fate of the much-publicized deer. The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA) has thrown its weight behind extermination. According to Dr. Francis H. Rowley, president of the MSPCA and the American Humane Educational Society, the deer have deteriorated in recent years due to interbreeding and physical disintegration.
