| 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! | |
| The Masked Man | |
| 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" | |
| LINK: | |
| https://www.datareport.inf | |
| o/avian-flu/study-relevant-to-bird-flu-is-that-humans-pass-on-mo | |
| re-viruses-to-domestic-and-w/msg2389/#msg2389 | |
| 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. | |
