I am the one who used the word "sad" and I agree, it's the wrong word. The food chain is what it is, and like it or not, we have to share the deer. However, I do believe that certain predators, such as coyotes, need to be hunted when they get out of control, as they can be deadly. The bobcat is doing what God meant it to do. I guess if it wasn't a fawn and just an adult deer, I wouldn't have said that. It's the fact that it's a helpless fawn that did for me, but maybe that's all the bobcat could handle. At least we know he will eat it all, and whatever is left, the rest of the food chain - crows, etc. - will take care of.
