> The airport should have a professional wildlife biologist on site,

> Cleveland. Those airports contract with the USDA for that service.  
> Pittsburgh does not.

> Allegheny County Airport Authority gave 28 of its employees  
> exclusive rights to hunt deer on its 9,000 acres in and around  
> Findlay Township.

> "The airport authority allows those 28 authorized employees to bring

> Just how many deer live on the airport's 9,000 acres is unknown,  
> because according to a 2007 USDA document, the airport authority has  
> never commissioned a deer density survey.
> Even without the study, the USDA says current density far exceeds  
> the recommended five-to-12 deer per square mile.
