>it's a strawman argument
In order for it to be a strawman argument, one would have to view the discussion as an argument. I was having a discussion. And that statement related to the discussion. If you want to make it an argument, then so be it. Because a whole lot of what you are saying is wrong.
>assuming they would vilify hunters is wrong, they grew up around hunters and wish the deer luck and reprieve during hunting season-- we live right off the Appalachian trail. They just like feeling like Disney Princesses (just like hunters like feeling like Davey Crockett)
Most people that feed deer and treat them like pets are ignorant enough to think that they are doing them good. If these ladies are feeding deer as a favor to the deer, they are ignorant on some level, because it isn't good for the deer. Not shockingly if they are ignorant about that, they will be generally ignorant about other things that have to do with deer. Like hunting.
>there's always going to ve people who do it.
Other people doing it is not a reason to justify doing it. I see people litter all the time and not only do I not do it, I tell others not to do it, and I look down on those who do it knowing its bad.
>It's really not at all different from hunters who use feed lots
in the case of spreading disease, no... It isn't at all. But again, one doesn't excuse the other. I look down at hunters that use feed to attract deer as well and I'm not quiet about that either.
>whether they grow the food or are over in New Jersey putting out piles of corn.
Wrong. Growing food plots to attract deer is not the same as putting out feed. Food plots attract deer but keep them spread out. Piles of feed(which is not called feed plots btw), is bad for the spread of disease.
>Sometimes you have to let other people live their lives and feed a deer
I'm not telling anyone what they can or can't do. Ill leave the lawmakers(who in most cases listen to the experts) for that. But likewise, kindly get bent if you are trying to tell me to keep my mouth shut about having a discussion(or argument, as you seem to want) about how bad it is for the deer.

There is a piebald deer that hangs around Lafayette College campus in Easton, PA. Spotted it a few times this winter! (pun intended, haha)

PPL seemingly didn't negotiate their default rate in good faith. Significant rate increases that far exceed that of other PA utilities.
Read a blurb in another article suggesting PPL is seeking to shift more customers to 3rd party suppliers. Statistics bear that out with about twice the percentage (~30%+) of PPL customers with 3rd party suppliers verses customers of other utilities.
PPL has in the past commented about the problems with 3rd party suppliers, but lately it appears they're seeking to get to out of supplying electricity at all. PPL has jumped the shark lately to appease shareholders.
Their recent meter reading incident followed by billing problems followed by lack of customer service is a prime example. Never seen PPL this bad. Something has definitely changed for the worse.
Furthermore, while PPL isn't permitted to profit from supply, my hunch is that PPL related companies and/or insiders are. Would like to see that investigated.
Good point about time of use plans, but gives PPL another way to push customers away to 3rd party suppliers despite knowing many of them are so shady with some being outright ripoffs. Also, a time of use plan could include a distribution component as well to curtail peak loads over its distribution network. Saving money on upgrading transformers and the like long as possible.

I mean I get it, I used to care more-- but CWD is a prion disease, and while feeding any wild animal and getting them to congregate in large groups will spread disease, there's always going to ve people who do it. It's really not at all different from hunters who use feed lots whether they grow the food or are over in New Jersey putting out piles of corn.
Also, it's a strawman argument, assuming they would vilify hunters is wrong, they grew up around hunters and wish the deer luck and reprieve during hunting season-- we live right off the Appalachian trail. They just like feeling like Disney Princesses (just like hunters like feeling like Davey Crockett)
Sometimes you have to let other people live their lives and feed a deer (not that I advocate for it, but I do advocate for a certain level of minding my own damn business)

Theres a piebald around my work in Bucks, nobody hunts on the properties she hangs out at. Supposedly they're bad for the herd, and hunters are encouraged to go for them.

Kid is an asshole, and deserves his punishment in court, but I have to say that a lot of these comments seethe with bigotry and hatred against jocks, bros, the wealthy etc. High school must have been tough for a lot of yas

Not only do hunters seek out pie-bald deer, it's encouraged, supposedly for the health of the herd.

He was double dipping. This is why effective leadership matters, they were able to find the discrepancies.

PPL doesn’t generate electricity, they haven’t since the mid 90s. They won’t make any money of time of use plans and have actually lobbied to make them illegal in PA.
