Animal Matters Seminar: Making Peace with Urban Deer

Part of the Fall 2018 Animal Matters Seminars: Human-Wildlife Conflict Seminar Series

presented by Tufts Center for Animals and Public Policy

Speaker: Allen Rutberg, PhD
Director, Center for Animals and Public Policy
Research Associate Professor, Department of Biomedical Sciences, Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine

For more than 25 years, Dr. Allen Rutberg has been working with urban and suburban communities struggling with how to manage their conflicts with thriving populations of white tailed deer. As his field research on the use of contraceptives for controlling deer populations has progressed, it has triggered strong reactions from different stakeholders. He will consider these responses as he discusses the current prospects for widespread management use of contraception for urban and suburban deer.

Made possible by the generous support of: Elizabeth A. Lawrence Endowed Fund
