CRD Has Not Posted Video from May 16 Deer Management CAG Meeting

The May 9, 2012 Citizen's Advisory Group meeting was videotaped and posted on moderndemocracy's Youtube channel, in it's entirety.  The May 16 meeting was videotaped for the duration, yet the proceedings have not yet been posted. 

Those of us who were present have a good idea why.  Some CAG members made inappropriate and unprofessional comments about deer, such as Jocelyn Scrlac's question: "Why do deer have more rights over (sic) other animals?" * 1:14:30 and Wendy Fox's assertion that deer are "charging" cyclists on Lochside Drive "when they have fawns." *1:17:07

During discussion about economic losses, Robin Bassett asked Wendy Fox for a dollar figure on agricultural losses and Jeff Weightman suggested they will ask the ERWG for an economic study.  At this time Marg Evans declared that the group "doesn't need to justify why this is an agricultural issue." She reiterated her comment from the last meeting that "we tried to get stats and we work now with what we have."

*As per posted May 24, CAG meeting on moderndemocracy's channel
