The only problem I have with this funny comic is the poor comparison. Humans can actively plan, communicate, & alter our environment. Deer cannot. If their population booms (because we killed all their other predators… Oops) then we do need to fill in the gaps until conservation efforts can restore the other populations, such as wolves. That is our duty, to keep the ecosystem in balance. It’s also respectful (In my opinion, at least) to the animals that we kill to at least let them serve a purpose, to feed & cloth us, to not waste their life.
Maybe the point is that humans are not actively planning, communicating, and altering our environment in a positive way to be able to handle the population increase.

we can, but effectively we don’t
And we do this by flinging metallic lead all over the countryside.
Some people prefer arrows, so they can retrieve & reuse the bolts when they’re done.
In Germany you are not allowed to use arrows. Because you can’t ensure a swift death for the animal.
Humans is the only species that destroys their environment and then pretend to fix the problem by destroying more environment.
