Saddle River suspends deer-cull program pending more data, officials say
Summary
The borough manager announced suspension of the deer-cull program "until further data warrants its continuation" and said the Wildlife Management Committee will consult professionals on alternatives; public commenters urged nonlethal options and vigilance against political timing.
Saddle River’s manager announced the council is suspending the deer-cull program in the borough until further data warrants its continuation. The manager said the pause aims to allow the borough to combine legal and nonlegal methods and to consult with council leadership on new strategies.
Several public commenters urged nonlethal approaches — including planting clover or pulling deer to designated foraging areas — and questioned whether past suspensions had been timed to election cycles. Council members said the Wildlife Management Committee will convene experts and work on strategies to reduce deer impacts while minimizing safety and political concerns.
