That is nonsense. Hitting a deer is like driving on ice. You have no control over other moving obsticles, where ice is stationary, but in the presence, it takes away all control from the driver to be defensive. Now, that's what that owner is doing. He has become the deer or ice place in the path of the driver.
He has no sense of SAFETY in his business plans, ethics, or tactics. I would stay away from this owner and his business. Further more, I would leave that job as his business, but who am I?
To sum things up, on the majority of all safety review boards, their views states that if you strike a stationary object, it is preventable. This is not the case.
