Deer Hunt Protestors Chain Selves to Diocese Door





Two New York anti-hunters were arrested this week after chaining themselves to the entrance of a Catholic diocese building to protest a deer cull.

Deirdre Guelke and Therese Ferreira were charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest as they protested a cull in Lloyd Harbor, New York on Long Island. Authorities had to saw apart the chains, which had been looped through the doors and around the women’s necks.

According to The Long Island Press, the Animal Defense League’s Long Island chapter has launched several demonstrations against the deer control program. Some protests have occurred at Lloyd Harbor Mayor Leland Hairr’s home. Last year, activists spray-painted his car with their logo.

This year marks the third annual deer cull in Lloyd Harbor. It was prompted by a skyrocketing deer population that increased to such a level that it poses significant ecological effects and is a threat to public health and safety.
