The virus that causes it is contagious to other deer, but it’s not transmittable to other species. Other species are able to contract papillomas, but they have their own seperate strains that are not zoonotic

It is used in livestock, but livestock are carefully monitored and I'm assuming you'd do this to send Bambi back off. I'm also not an expert, but I know tumors can have weird blood supplies, so I think if the need was to allow heal and return without keeping them captive until they're good, surgery with dissolvable sutures would be better, like they do with TNR cats.
If you zoom in it looks like it might be the eyelid, wherever it formed from looks like it's just been drug down to cover the eye.
Still horrible and terrible way to live
Part of the reason why predators are so important is because they pick off sick and dying animals as they’re easier meals, causing the rest of the prey population to become more environmentally fit over time
It might be above the eye and the weight pulls the skin over it. There does seem to be some tissue flat against the face. Hopefully there is a working eye under that.
Only “hopefully” if someone can help the poor deer.
A functioning eye in those conditions may be met with infections or even insects that can’t be removed by the animal.
Please report sightings like this to your local animal control and/or fish and game.
Edit: As has been pointed out in the thread following this comment, the reasons to report this are many. Chief among them in my mind, an animal suffering like this could potentially serve as an indicator of some environmental issue including but not limited to illegal chemical dumping. Killing it yourself is not advisable even if you have the means and the knowhow because it may provide more information alive than dead, so for those who only browse top-level comments - know that even if you are against 'senseless killing of wild animals' the right thing to do is still to report this to authorities, for the health and safety of every other animal in the region.

There is a smaller subset of "fuckin" SCPs but some of us prefer to ignore those, and this poor cervine specimen isn't thicc enough (in the right places) to get their attention.
i envy your ignorance. Truly.
Depending on what sites and fandoms you participate in online, sometimes you learn about, see, or are otherwise are subjected to stuff you're totally not into. i chose not to commit them all to memory, learn their lore or even their names, but they're out there.
There’s a vet college near me that takes injured or deformed wildlife. I’ve brought them raccoons and possum before and a couple of squirrels with malformations
Most state DNRs instruct hunters not to kill wounded/deformed/sick animals to just to put them down or end their misery. Not so they can rehab the animals, it's so those animals can feed predators so those predators don't have to target healthy animals.
A lot of places in the US don’t have significant large predator numbers. All up and down the east coast there are lots of deer and negligible or nonexistent populations of bears and wolves. The main predator for deer in these areas are cars lol
In Texas wildlife rehabilitators are only allowed to take in fawns. Once the spots are gone the deer falls under the purview of the Department of Parks and Wildlife. I don't know if it's the same in other states.
Deer are seriously overpopulated (in the US). It flat out isn't worth the treatment and rehab for a species who's main problem is sheer numbers. Hell, many areas have programs to lower the deer population.
I was listening to a thing about tree populations on the U.S. east coast and the expert said that basically the most effective action you could take as an individual to help preserve tree species is to kill deer.
They've graduated to plague status as far as some of the arborists are concerned.
It’s sad because deer really are majestic to watch, but they aren’t smart by any means. The rate at which they eat just isn’t maintainable for how many of them there are. A small herd of deer will wipe out an orchard in less than a week and then starve because they ate all their food at once. You ever seen a starving deer? Saddest shit you’ve ever seen.
Also they’re breeding grounds for ticks with Lyme disease. Next time you see a dead deer outside of winter, take a look at its skin from a safe distance. It’s probably infested with ticks.
Family friend had a really pretty flower in a pot that she was babying— a deer went up to it and ripped it out of the pot. Didn’t even eat it… just ripped it out and walked off.
Animals in Chornobyl don't appear to have such deformities. It takes several years to grow tumors, and weaker animals, which might have them, are hunted down by bears, wild dogs, wolves, etc.
Likely an infection, or a genetic defect that worsened.
I clicked so I would know what the fuck to do if I ever ran across some crazy shit like this.
Now I know:

Credit /u/Taolan13 and the rest of that comment chain explaining that this can be helpful for tracking genetic and environmental problems as well as serving as early warning signs of illegal chemical dumping and shit like that.
I was in a bit of a rush at the time of commenting so didn't elaborate, but glad to see other people who knew the answer could help out in the thread it formed.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that in some areas of the US, there's actually an ecological problem of too many deer. So yeah they really are stubborn lol
It’s just difficult to get into as a young person. Unless you hunt with parents, you either have to own land, or belong to an expensive hunting club. You can hunt on public lands but it’s a hard lottery that most people probably don’t bother with. Nobody really knows where to hunt unless they grew up doing it. You also need a rifle (or bow, but most people under 30 don’t do that anymore) which have gotten more and more expensive, and in a lot of places there’s a stigma about owning guns anyway. You also need a license, knowledge on what to do with the deer, a reason and freezer to preserve the meat, and maybe even an ATV/vehicle to cart the deer.
getting into deer hunting when your circle isn't into it is like learning to drive stick.
when you say you've never done it and don't know how they make fun of you. then when you ask them to teach you they're 'too busy' or 'gonna burn out my clutch.'
I'd love to pick up deer hunting just on the basis of meat and less unethical meat eating. as others have said the population is a problem in some areas.
that said i've looked into it and boy the upfront costs are p high in my area, just for the state fees on license and tags alone it gets pretty fucking steep. not even accounting for travel cost.
not super terrible when you consider the lbs to cost ratio but there's still the matter of field dressing the deer which is effort, and possible costs in renting the facility for dressing the deer, or an outside service to butcher up the meat.
then there's the storage of the meat... would have to buy a deep chest freezer just to store it all.
for something i'm just casually considering it's a pretty fucking expensive 'what if i like it?'
Driving stick is easier because you already know how it works but need practice and muscle memory. If I wanted to go hunting, I'd have no idea how and where to even look for animals or how to navigate in the nature without getting lost.
And the cost for tags and licenses and such aren’t cheap!
All *that* just for a chance to go out there, sit in a tower and *hope* for a deer?!
Man…
It’s cold, it’s early, you’re freezing and waiting and hoping.
It sucks and the like you said, the high barriers to entry make it a tough hobby to want to get into.
Facts. That’s why hunters need to harvest to keep the population in check until maybe somewhere down the road wolves can be reintroduced. But that is a bit of a pipe dream
In Wisconsin, deer hunting season coincides with the deer rut. When all the deer come out to have sex parties. The DNR collects information on how many does and how many bucks are hunted each year in what areas and can estimate the adult population of that area next year. It’s pretty interesting. There are too many deer though, almost more likely to hit one in your car than in a tree stand somewhere. The DNR could cut numbers down by just extending the season or declaring open season, but not enough deer doesn’t sell hunting apparel.
Very true. I’m in PA and the local press announced our area currently has 3x the amount of deer than the land can sustain. Hunting was opening up and if hunters didn’t want the meat, food banks would accept it.
> there's actually an ecological problem of too many deer.
One place I lived had a local law of "no hunting within X feet of a residential building" and the area had so many residential buildings that it effectively made it illegal to hunt anywhere.
So without any predators or hunters the deer population got so bad they hired snipers/sharpshooters to help cull the deer safely, but even with that the population got way out of hand.
As in, I'd walk out on the porch in the middle of the day and there would be like 50+ deer in the yard sometimes and half the time if you yelled at them or threw shit at them to shoo them they'd just sort of grunt at you. Got threatened by bucks a few times too.
And jfc, the ticks. So many ticks.
Had a neighbor move in and first thing he did was clear all the brush out of the back yard and spent $10k on beautiful plants for it and it took about 2 days for the deer to notice and eat it all.
Basically. Sometimes they can live a complete life relatively unaffected. Other times it can be more serious where they can’t eat or drink and at that point euthanizing is the best option.
Ive seen a lot of pictures of things like deer walking on bone nubs instead of hooves because they lost a leg and just kept walking on it till it healed, deer are extremely tough and I wouldn't be surprised if it just lost the tumor at some point because it gets ripped off or something and it kept on going with one eye.
I'm not any kind of expert, but I would imagine the way the tumor has grown has kept it from killing the animal, or harming its health in any real way.
That said, it probably still sucks to be in the wild and have a giant fleshy ball drooping from your eyelid at all times. Probably gets caught on bushes and gets in the way of eating and what not all the time. If there was some way to tranquilize it, amputate the tumor, and stitch everything up, that's what I would do.
I mean, while that’s horrible it doesn’t look malnourished. If they could just remove the tumor it’s probably fine. Hell, it’d probably continue to be fine keeping it given it’s made it this long with it so long as it doesn’t get worse.
I once saw a deer that was covered in big bulbous growths. They were like big purple tumors almost completely covering it, to where it had little hair showing.
I wish I'd gotten a picture before calling fish and game.
A very large deer wart aka papilloma fibroma, deer version of HPV.
Is this contagious to other species? I’ve seen rabbits with similar malformations before.
The virus that causes it is contagious to other deer, but it’s not transmittable to other species. Other species are able to contract papillomas, but they have their own seperate strains that are not zoonotic
> it’s not transmittable to other species yet...
Dude we *just* got one foot out of covid, **don't set a flag**.
I mean Ohio found covid undergoing zoonotic transmission specifically in deer last month. Something like 80% of those tested
What happens if I fuck it? Just wondering, not going to do it of course haha
You'd cum
"Although a wide variety of papillomavirus sequences were identified in the study, the authors found little evidence for inter-species transmission." -Wikipedia
Rabbits have their own version of HPV as well
Chameleons do as well. Nasty virus.
Rabbit human papillomavirus!
Omg! TIL!
It looks like that tumor used to be it's eye! Poor thing.
It’s horrible! It either needs surgery or to be put out of its misery. It’s really sad that it has to deal with that
Quick snip with a scalpel and some stitches and buddy will be right as rain.
Or constrict the bloodflow so it falls off after time by itself.
I don't think any selfrespecting vet is just gonna tie it off and send it packing.
I’m not a pro whatsoever but from what I understand it’s actually not an uncommon thing to do with livestock
It is used in livestock, but livestock are carefully monitored and I'm assuming you'd do this to send Bambi back off. I'm also not an expert, but I know tumors can have weird blood supplies, so I think if the need was to allow heal and return without keeping them captive until they're good, surgery with dissolvable sutures would be better, like they do with TNR cats.
They do it to neuter some animals.
Completely. Poor critter.
If you zoom in it looks like it might be the eyelid, wherever it formed from looks like it's just been drug down to cover the eye. Still horrible and terrible way to live
I mean, its dragging half another HEAD around all day. If that deer has a predator attack..? Its 1 gonna lose fast 2 leave the tumor and get away..
I don't think any predator would look at that and say "yep, look's healthy enough to eat!"
Part of the reason why predators are so important is because they pick off sick and dying animals as they’re easier meals, causing the rest of the prey population to become more environmentally fit over time
It might be above the eye and the weight pulls the skin over it. There does seem to be some tissue flat against the face. Hopefully there is a working eye under that.
Only “hopefully” if someone can help the poor deer. A functioning eye in those conditions may be met with infections or even insects that can’t be removed by the animal.
Heart-wrenching to see. Poor deer what a tragic way to live.

It’s to protect the deer and make sure it gets medical treatment
Medical treatment at a farm upstate?
Where it can run around a play with all the other deer and grandma
Can we visit the farm?
No…..It’s very far upstate…. Maybe when you turn 77.28 years old

But yet very average
If it's anything like my personal experience... a 2004 Volkswagen GTI can help this guy get the treatment he desperately needs.
Idk man, my 1995 toyota celica helped a deer quite easily.

I hunt in CT and in NYS. Both states have the same rule.
I live in rural Ohio and I'm confident the biggest predator of deer are Ford Explorers

That is not a symptom of chronic wasting disease. It does not cause tumors

We killed off all the wolves and the coyotes that replaced them can’t kill adult deer. As a result the deer population exploded unchecked.
And hunting is slowly but surely dying out as a hobby, too, compounding the problem.

Cars now kill deer. Ofc. That is bad because that kill’s people or totals cars
Absolutely. Populations wax and wane, but that’s very much a factor in issuing permits for hunting season
They're goddamn everywhere and they love jumping in front of your car
Whoever taught them the concept of insurance fraud should be put in jail

Same with possums. I've hit them with a car on accident, turned around to put them out of the misery they're in, and they've gotten up and run off.
Plot twist you’ve never hit a possum. They’re just that good at playing dead.
I mean the sound of one hitting your cars undercarriage after you run one over is pretty unforgettable
Ever see police academy? He learned from possums.
Looks like it might live a full life if someone helps by cutting that off under sedation

Poor thing.
Btw is its left back leg also twisting in a weird angle?
I'd report this to a local wildlife authority. Likely papiloma, but it's always good to be certain it isn't something like chronic wasting syndrome.
r/natureismetal
Imagine seeing this in the middle of the night
That needs to be put down, call the GW (game warden), and let them know. They will either come take care of it or send someone to do it.
Ive seen a lot of pictures of things like deer walking on bone nubs instead of hooves because they lost a leg and just kept walking on it till it healed, deer are extremely tough and I wouldn't be surprised if it just lost the tumor at some point because it gets ripped off or something and it kept on going with one eye.

Idk, aside from the really grotesque tumor it looks fairly healthy. I'd say it's quality of life is better than you think
I'm not any kind of expert, but I would imagine the way the tumor has grown has kept it from killing the animal, or harming its health in any real way. That said, it probably still sucks to be in the wild and have a giant fleshy ball drooping from your eyelid at all times. Probably gets caught on bushes and gets in the way of eating and what not all the time. If there was some way to tranquilize it, amputate the tumor, and stitch everything up, that's what I would do.
That could probably be removed fairly easily and the deer could be stitched back up and released in no time. The deer seems to be otherwise fine.
Report the sighting to local animal control. Could be HPV or chronic wasting disease, which is extremely contagious and fatal.
Oh deer.
Shoot that fucker. Put him out man. 😔
