Lions Released to Deal with Hamptons Deer Problems

This is fake right? South African sounding name (which happens to be one of a former president) + no mention of it anywhere else on line. Are we posting Onion articles now?

It'd be cheaper to fly up 25 hunters, expenses paid.

I used to work around the Hamptons, and dealt with Dan's Papers a bit. This is definitely a joke.

Has to be fake, but pretty funny!

Oh this is going to end so well
