The Q chortled and chuckled all the way home, only to find upon Googling that in fact, deer have become quite the frequent site in parts of the north Bronx and Staten Island. Now, the North Bronx is basically Westchester so that I get. But Staten Island? What, they came over on the ferry? Fearlessly dodged traffic on Goethals? No, neighbors, they swim there from Jersey. I shit you not. Look at this video, and apparently it's no fluke. Happens all the time:
But why place the deer posters here in Central Brooklyn? Seems like a waste of effort and money, right? Until just the other day, when I headed up to Parkside Plaza and caught these "faunas" eating our "floras." And no one on the Plaza even gave them a second glance...

you need to up your PhotoShop skills, Q.
Yeah, that photoshop gets a C-. Pretty funny though. Makes me think they located this on the wrong bus stop. I could see it being real further on Long Island too, but not Prospect Park. If they really wanted to target the city, maybe closer to highland/forest park area? There's a big run of parks, reservoirs, golf courses, and cemeteries connected.
I think coyotes will be in Brooklyn before deer. It wasn't that long ago that it would have been unlikely to have raccoons in our back yards.
picmonkey! it was my first try. I took another stab. a little better...
On a different note people, can Lefferts come-up with such with a similar idea? Flatbush and Rogers could use some TLC.

Fake News!
This summer a deer was found on Coney Island Beach in Brooklyn and another in Ft. Tilden in the Rockaways, Queens.
You serious? Staten Island has had a city funded deer vasectomy program for years. It has been a laughing stock. Doesn't work apparently. Costs like 3 grand per snippy snip. You gotta read some more regional news my friend.
