question 14: for what were dennis hutton and his wife

awarded the nobel prize a secondtime?

question 15: why did dennis hutton go to new york?

in america, white tailed deer are morenumerous than ever

before, so abundant in factthat theyve become a suburban

nuisance and ahealth hazard.

why cant the herd be thinned the old-fashionedway? the small

community of north haven on longisland is home to some six

hundred to sevenhundred deer. the department of

environmental conservation estimates the optimumpopulation

at 60. the town has been browsed bare of vegetation except

where gardens andshrubs are protected by high fences.

drivers routinely collide with deer and there are so many dead

bodies left by the side of theroad that the town has made it a

deal with a local pet cemetery to collect and dispose of

thebodies. some people in the town have become ill from deer

transmitted diseases. on theoccasions when hunting has been

tried, local animal rights people have worked to secure

courtorders against the hunts. and when that is failed, they

stop the hunters, banging on pots andpans to alert the deer.

town meetings called to discuss the problem inevitably

dissolved intoconfrontations.

the activists believe simply that the deer are not the problem.

some communities have evendiscussed the possibility of

bringing wolves back into the ecological mix. that means

wolves inthe suburbs of new york. it is almost too wonderful

not to try it. the wolves would kill deer ofcourse. they would

also terrorize and kill dogs and cats which is not what the

suburbandwellers have in mind.

questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just

heardq16. what do we learn about white- tailed deer in north

haven?q17. why do local animal rights people bang on pots

and pans?

q18. what would happen if wolves were brought back into the

ecological mix?
