I can just see it now - herds of deer and the odd wild cat, all
happily wandering around in bright yellow hard hats.

If these things are being dropped from a plane, falling fast enough to
penetrate into the ground, and with a sufficient density to establish
a reasonable amount of woodland, the wildlife kill is going to be
appalling - in Canada, for example, it would be likely to kill or
seriously injure something like one in every three elk. Smaller
animals, of course, have a better chance of being missed...
