Narrative:

For the past several months deer have been crossing runways during dawn and dusk. Aircraft have gone around on occasion but when it gets dark the controllers can only issue an advisory. It is only a matter of time before a serious accident occurs. Tower and airport management know of this problem. The only solution is to destroy the deer. It would be terrible if someone lost their life because of this problem.
