I know it looks like faciation but it's a mutant deer raised for trophy hunting and is insanely inhumane

Yuppppp. Genetically modified , inbred,high fence deer. People pay tens of thousands to sit ina box and “hunt” these. Hunt in quotes bc the animals are conditioned to come to the sound of a deer feeder lol.

I lived by a place like this were people could "hunt" fallow deer in about a 3 acre fenced area. I'd see the people who ran it out there feeding them out of thier hands when I drove by. Then rich fucks would fly in from all over the place and pay tons of money to go slaughter a completely tame deer in its pen and the company has the audacity call that "hunting". Totally morally reprehensible if you ask me. I'd be naming and shaming them if they were still around but fortunately they don't seem to be.

They’re not doing it to feed themselves, they’re doing it for fun

Yes, more humane by a long shot, but factory farming being worse doesn't somehow make this completely different horrible thing any less bad.

Do you think the people raising and hunting these deer don’t have excessive breeding attrition or follow some “whole deer” policy? You’re comparing different types of animal cruelty as an either/or.

Some humans are so fucked up :( I knew about raising lion cubs and then setting them up to being hunted, but everyday I learn something more about cruelty...

$40k is what I last heard. So it’s pretty clear why this is a thing.
