Episode Description
Anyone living on the East End has likely witnessed the consequences of deer overpopulation on human life. But arguably no one understands the gravity of this issue quite like those who work directly with these animals. In the second episode of Deer Humans, I speak with two wildlife rescuers whose paths crossed one day under unimaginable circumstances. These passionate rescuers, who act as fierce defenders of their four-legged friends, help to uncover some sinister secrets surrounding deer management on the East End. And when it comes to exposing the ugly truth, they’re not holding back.

Deer Humans,
Every summer, herds of wealthy vacationers flock to a group of seaside towns on the East End of Long Island, New York, collectively known as The Hamptons. Although it's known for its sprawling beaches, star-studded events, and exorbitantly high-priced real estate, The East End is also home to an ecological conflict that has been decades in the making. White-tailed deer are overpopulated in many parts of the country, and on the East End, the overabundance of these animals has become a major point of contention in the community. The East End's local deer population poses many threats to both human and non-human life-- deer cause lethal car collisions, play a major role in the spread of tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme Disease, and contribute to an increasingly alarming sense of ecological imbalance. Some members of the community want to eliminate deer completely, while others are dedicated to protecting them. What has ensued is a local conflict entangled with issues of animal rights, disease epidemics, and wildlife management, ultimately posing the question: who has the right to inhabit land? Deer Humans, tells the story of what happens when humans are forced to reckon with a changing environment caused by, well, us. Hosted on Acast.
