Animal rights activists and many Millburn residents are outraged by a gruesome new strategy to control the deer population.A large net was installed in a local backyard by Wildlife Researcher and Contractor Tony DeNicola. He?s being paid by Millburn Township to lure deer to net sites around Millburn and Short Hills and then euthanize them by putting a bolt to their heads, known as ?net and bolt.? DeNicola has been netting and bolting deer in Princeton for more six years and is now helping Millburn adopt the program. Some residents agree with the practice, saying deer cause accidents, ruin shrubs and are a nuisance. Others are calling the process slaughtering and animal cruelty. Still others say there are conflicting practices going on in New Jersey; farmers can apply for federal funding if they leave parts of their fields unharvested for deer feeding, but others are being employed to kill them. Wildlife Fish and Game says before hunting season, there are about 150,000 deer living in the state. He says deer are not migratory so the Millburn deer will stay there until they're removed. Deer hunting in New Jersey alone rakes in $11 million a year.
