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.

Having gone over this article and it making statements and
conclusions based on evidence such as "human–deer contact rates
are high in our case because of veterinary care and animal
husbandry.”, I can't help but think these deer either have covid
from the veterinarians and the animal husbandry workers or at
least are at major risk of being exposed to covid by those that
handle these deer.
It's pretty damning evidence and I can't help but in good
conscience make the statement that I think this is animal abuse.
At least that is what the studies seem to imply or point to...
...were such studies to be admit-able in a court of law and If
what the researchers say is true then it would at least be the
researchers duty to contact animal care and control or some sort
of higher authority on the matter as I just don't see how it
could be legal especially for the researchers to condone people
making animals sick or risking making them sick due to
negligence practices such as exposing an animal that can't
defend itself unduly to a virus because of lack of PPE Personal
Protection work safety Equipment and common sense practices
that help protect animals from human exposure to covid. This
seems like an inhumane practice of treating animals this way.
If all measures were taken by the facility to reduce human–deer
contact rates I'd say it was okay but clearly researchers are
implying these 1000 Captive Deer facilities in Texas are not
making much attempt to reduce their human–deer contact rates.
I encourage other readers to read the article and decide for
themselves but I personally get the impression the veterinarians
and animal husbandry workers are giving these animals covid
themselves. Correct me if I'm wrong but the researchers seem to
imply quite heavily that there is lack of protective
measurements for preventing human to deer contact with human
covid.
For what it is worth with simply knowing the basics of how
airborne diseases work I personally think it is animal abuse or
at least animal neglect to not use every means of protecting the
herd from covid. Because of the quantity and rate of airborne
illnesses that are thriving in today's day and age I personally
use a safety filter over my human face to reduce the risk of
spreading or getting a disease from a herd of animals be they a
human herd or of another species. I'm glad I can protect myself
from the maskless people including those who work closely in the
midst of herds and flocks of animals.
Be kind to animals, don't expose them to diseases or suffering
because of imprudent masklessness be on the safe side and wear a
mask knowing you did everything you could to protect the herd
and flock,

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,
The Masked Man
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.
