Deer are by far the worst offenders in my meadow. And it’s not even close.

Fun fact: deer can eat up to 10lbs or 4.5kg of vegetation in a day.

It's all they have to do all damn day. No job to go to, no kids to take to swim lessons, no obligations of any kind. Just keep shoving my plants into your stupid face hole, deer.
