Masked Man side Note:
As usual updates like these are significant and extremely important to follow.

I live in the mountains of North Carolina so we got deer and I imagine all of America and other countries have lots of deer at play going on.

Deer are very pervasive animals! these deer get around man and they come in herds and when they get overpopulated they affect their surroundings and tons of plant life s well. They routinely mingle with our cattle and other animals in our livestock fields. They graze next to cattle and that's the milk and beef industry right there.

Deer play a huge role in all our lives and can affect what we eat at the kitchen table merely because of how pervasive they are virtually in our backyards and prevalent amongst farms. Its smart to keep tabs on their health. Not to mention they carry ticks and stampede and nest and leave their dung in areas where other animals abound.

Deer cross our paths and the paths of other species as well in no small number so this is no small matter... Deer is a herd animal worth keeping tabs on insofar as covid and other diseases go.

Thank you for all these important updates!

P.S.
It would not be out of the question that humans infected these Captive deer in Texas with covid...

...In this article on 'Captive deer in Texas Show' they tell it like it is: “This facility falls into the category of outdoor ranch, although human–deer contact rates are high in our case because of veterinary care and animal husbandry.”

...just a little note worth remembering about captive animals and their owners/veternarians/Touchy feely pet farms so popular amongst tourists and their capacity to infect them with covid. A lot of people don't realize this but people give other species covid too a lot more than most people would expect! Keeper of captive animals need to be aware of this... beware of yourselves giving covid to your animals "Humans pass on more viruses to domestic and wild animals than we catch from them, according to a major new analysis of viral genomes by UCL researchers"

Maybe 'Captive deer in Texas show' should have read the major new analysis of viral genomes by UCL researchers..duh.. they should now want to mask up their veterinary care and mask their animal husbandry people to reduce  he human–deer contact rates that is admittingly is occurring at 1000 facilities.

After all the 'Captive deer in Texas' article says "human–deer contact rates are high in our case because of veterinary care and animal husbandry.”


Mask up to help prevent getting and giving covid. You can give covid to other species of animals who don't have the human intelligence or the mental capacity to defend themselves with a mask,

Also be aware that covid and other airborne diseases can land on and live on various surfaces for sets amounts of time and that animals use their snouts and face like hands to touch feel and taste and smell things directly in contact with these surfaces.

I have to pose the questions what is purpose or intent of all these private deer facilities? From the little research Ive done:

"Breeders of captive, native North American cervids, primarily white-tailed deer and elk, raise these animals to sell as breeding stock, as trophy animals for fee-based shooting operations, or to produce meat, semen, velvet, and other saleable parts".

Wildlife societies don't seem to think very highly of captive deer facilities.

...These facilities sound pretty bad from what little research Ive done ..they sound like a magnet for diseases and problems and animal exploitation..this is f*ckin' disgusting.. I'm not a big fan of raising something to kill by a trophy hunter. What's the sport in that!? That's not a sport it's psychotic! Why would anybody want to kill something for nothing? Aren't there enough things to attend to in this messed up world? What a waste! Use your hand eye coordination for something else and more useful to humanity ye trigger happy trophy hunters! Get a life! Don't take a life!

In very rare cases I believe in hunting for survival or maybe hunting by an individual responsibly in the wild when its done with survival in mind like native Indians did but that is not a necessary thing in modern times. I personally don't think it ethical to kill anything unless you are starving. I really can't stand guns and groups of people that kill things for sport.. I actually find that sick in the head to kill something unless you have to. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion ..I'll shoot at a target with bow and arrow but killing an animal is a big deal as you must skin it and prepare it and put it in freezer and live off of what you kill. There's enough deer in the wild for those individuals in my amateur opinion. Giant deer facilities that are for hunting purposes have no place in my world. Don't raise a creature for the sake of killing it.. that's weird and wacked out in the head.

Save your energy for more constructive things,

Love all creatures great and small,

P.S. I'm in the mountains and there are deer all over the place.. we barely survived a hurricane and probably won't the next, one in six North Carolinians say they are suffering from long covid. In my mask, I just stacked half a cord of firewood and stuck it under a tarp, the wind makes it feel like zero below and I snow shoveled like crazy and have been pushing a wheelbarrow all day and so to a guy like me just the idea of some rich guy in Texas paying somebody to let an animal out of gate so he can get his jollies by killing a docile tame deer with lead and gunpowder or shooting an animal that they paid somebody to raise behind a fence is just morally disgusting, disrespectful more than pathetic. You have to admit that is creepy and icky.

On a few occasions Ive ridden my bicycle at night down a hill with a little bicycle light and went right by one deer and rode alongside another deer with their hoofs a pattering on the road .. if you are gonna do something with deer then do something exciting like ride with them! It was super  exciting to ride with deer! Try to shoot nature with a camera! That's more interesting, educational and fun! If you keep it alive you can observe it. Once you take a life you can never bring it it back to life and you lose the opportunity to learn from that beautiful life. If you didn't bring it into the world then it is surely a sin to kill it especially if it wasn't trying to kill you in that instant or unless it is out of necessity like you are starving.
