| 1,307 | 10:07 pm PST, Dec 4 | Mrs. | Lisa Gasperoni | Pittsburgh | Pennsylvania | United States | It breaks my heart to see so many deer lying on the side of the road each week. If they are not running from a gun shot, their runnung from a car. I hope a device like this can prevent a lot of accidents as well as save the deer. |

| 1,305 | 8:09 pm PST, Nov 8 | Anonymous | Somerset | New Jersey | United States | Thank you for coming up with a petition to protect the deers. It's really sad that these innocent creatures are being killed every day by vehicles (unitentionally). Let's take steps to keep these deers safe with care. | |

| 1,302 | 8:18 pm PST, Mar 2 | Jon Schultz | Washougal | Washington | United States | Deer are very civilized, sweet animals. Civilized people respect them and drive carefully through areas where they live. The sirens are a great idea if they work. | |
| 1,301 | 12:22 pm PST, Nov 20 | Ms. | Giuliana Deaconu | Rochester Hills | Michigan | United States | Enforcing the speed limit and education will reduce all accidents including the ones involving the deer. Hunting the deer will increase the herd size. It is called the compensatory rebound effect. These are the times to live in harmony with nature and not to divide communities, to find permanent solutions such as sterilization, to teach great values to the kids instead of more violence and killing and to reevaluate our driving skills. We are the tax payers and our voices should not be ignored. Those who use weapons to kill defenseless animals are not sportsmen, they are COWARDS. If two of your neighbors argued, what would be your advice? Check this site and provide your town with the facts. Humans are causing the accidents not the deer and they should channel their effort in choosing permanent solutions such as special reflectors,signage, sterilization. Instead of being driven by a power struggle. http://www.semcog.org/Data/bysubject.cfm |
| 1,300 | 5:57 am PST, Nov 4 | Wanda Hatt | Lunenburg County | Canada | When driving home from work at night around 11:30 pm I see deer on side of the road and some time heards of deer in the fields. After hitting 2 deer in a matter of 3 months, I'm scared to drive home.The deer whistle's and driving slow still does not keep the deer from jumping out in front of you. | ||

| 1,296 | 12:32 pm PDT, May 13 | Elisa Pokral | Bloomington | Indiana | United States | I have had a personal incident where I saw a truck that was going too fast run over a deer. From what I saw, I think the accident could have been avoided. He could have swerved without causing an accident and he could have stopped to help the deer. The deer was flailing in the middle of the street. It was awful. A lady and I stopped, got out of our cars and dragged that poor deer to the side of the road. We then contacted the police to see if they could euthanize it. Deer are life too and they deserve habitat and repect. Some accidents cannot be avoided but this one and countless others could be avoided if deer sirens were used. All life is to be respected. We share this earth. | |
| 1,295 | 3:02 am PST, Feb 6 | Ms. | Anna Mlynarska | New Jersey | United States | Because I want to protect animals, especially deers, because for someone reason that animals means a lot to me - especially one- named Anna :* | |
| 1,294 | 4:36 am PST, Jan 21 | Anonymous | Rodman | New York | United States | Unfortunate collisions with deer and other wildlife have caused not only needless deaths and maiming of wildlife but also humans--young and old. It would be prudent for auto makers to incorporate a warning device for the purpose of warning wildlife of the autos approach. Insurance companies would benefit and perhaps lower insurance rates would help facilitate a wildlife warning device program. | |

| 1,292 | 12:37 pm PST, Nov 30 | Mrs. | Gail Carpiniello | Massachusetts | United States | to protect the deers, we are overrunning the land with our motor vehicles, the least we can do is try to protect natures inhabitants. | |
| 1,291 | 3:49 am PST, Nov 25 | Mrs. | Sara Yadon | Groveport | Ohio | United States | because it is definately a fantastic idea! i drive to work on a part of the highway that doesnt have lights in the dark near wooded areas! |
| 1,290 | 5:47 am PST, Nov 6 | Anonymous | Minnesota | United States | Obvious reason! I have to drive one way to work in the dark. Trying to avoid wildlife and reckless drivers makes it very tense. This would help one aspect. | ||
| 1,289 | 2:46 pm PDT, Nov 3 | Mr. | William Anaszewicz | Illinois | United States | I agree with the warning device will not only reduce killing the deer but the civilians killed in the accidents. | |

| 1,283 | 11:39 am PDT, May 2 | Carolyn Hill | East Alton | Illinois | United States | There is just an over abundance of deer population. My boyfriend has had 3 encounters with deer in the last two years. The last accident actually killed the deer and did a lot of damage to the car. If I had been along it or he would have had the top down on the car it could've done a lot of damage to either him or I as well. | |
| 1,282 | 8:36 am PDT, Apr 30 | Ms. | Catherine Anne Galvin | Dumont | New Jersey | United States | Good idea. Its sad to drive through areas like New York state and see dead deer on the road. These encounters can kill both the deer and the driver. These measures will protect animals and humans alike. |

Deer Protection: Add siren warnings to cars
Dear President,
Deer are kind, gentle creatures, yet they are not treated with the respect that they deserve as a native species in the U.S.A. These gentle creatures exist, harming no-one, yet by the hundreds of thousands are killed by Vehicles yearly, plus killed by hunters and predators.
We, the undersigned request that it be law that all vehicles be equiped with a sounding device for Deer to be warned of an oncoming vehicle to see if this may cut the road kills down significantly and save Human Lives and prevent injuries and damage to Vehicles and injuries to Deer.
In addition, we ask that our Government proclaim a National Deer Day and choose the Deer as The National Mammal. Proclaim what the People may do for Deer, that the Deer may live in peace.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned.
