This is a picture that I took along the Rocky Branch Creek that runs through the middle of Campus. This was taken basically outside of Lee Residence Hall. This was a doe and there were two fawns with her. Is this right? As more and more land gets developed into cities, the wildlife is being forced into smaller and smaller areas. Deer are not supposed to be living within a city but unfortunately they are being forced to. This can lead to a number of problems, with the worst being loss of life after a car collision. A major question facing developers and environmentalists is how to still develop areas but cut back on the effect this developing has on the native wildlife. What do you think? Should we just ignore the wildlife because after all we are the top of the food chain, or should we think about the effects our society has on the wildlife and their habitats?
