This is very much a true thing in the UK. Deer are overpopulated and causing damage to their environment.

As you have pointed out the solution is to eat more venison, but most local butchers stock hardly any of it because of low demand.

I do not understand the low demand. It can be cheaper than beef and tastes good and is lean. Maybe it needs some promotion? The same arguments that have promoted vegetarianism (healthier and green) are applicable.

British eating habits have become really narrow over the years. Its hard to find offal (healthier and greener than just eating muscle meat). Rabbit seems to have pretty much disappeared too.
