Comment on TIL: Deer are popping off down here

I object to allowing randoms to hunt them and donate the meat.
if the government wants to setup some sort of department to hunt them, assess the safety of the meat, and re-sell it on to shops I would be fine with that.

Why would we involve the government when there are plenty of people who will do it for free? Sounds like a solid win-win to me. Here in America, we’re trying to figure out how to do this with wild pigs. (Apparently not very tasty unless certain conditions are met.)
I can see the safety angle, but I promise you, hunters are far wiser about safe meat than your local grocer.
