Fairfax City, Virginia Councilmembers voted 5-1 Tuesday night to move forward with participation in a grant-funded program to surgically sterilize deer within the city limits in an effort to help control the growing population. Efforts to cull the population by passing an ordinance that would allow limited deer hunting within the city ended in a deadlock this past summer. Since then, the City has been presented with the opportunity to participate in this program and have it funded by a university-based research group that is examining the success rate of using such methods to control growing deer populations in municipalities that choose not to use lethal methods.
