I came across something the other day that really had me troubled.

Remember the show we did?

A couple of days ago, I think we were talking about this virus, papilloma virus, I guess,

is attacking rabbits and that they're growing horns out of their head and they're growing these

huge, like, tentacles out of their faces.

You know, that was a nightmare in and of itself.

And then in my feed yesterday, I saw the same thing, but this time with deer.

And that deer have these bobbles and boils and this other stuff coming out of their head.

And it's sad to see this because deer are beautiful.

I love deer.

I mean, even though I went hunting with my dad a couple times and we shot a few of them,

but still, they're majestic.

They're beautiful.

And just to see them in that kind of condition is in some ways very terrifying.

Okay.

Because this is, you know, again, this is an animal that some people hunt and they eat.
