They're beginning to be threatened, as usually happens when a population grows out of control.
For decades, they've had few or no natural predators, causing their numbers to balloon. As a result, nature steps in, and chronic wasting disease is now spreading.
Their natural habitat is also quickly shrinking, so that they're being forced into suburban, and even urban situations, resulting in more deer being struck by vehicles than in the past.
In some states, season and per-day hunting limits have been increased because area deer populations are growing at an alarming rate.
Hope this helps!Why are white tailed deer threatened?
White deer arnt, not by us. In the state of wisconsin, there are 1.5 million dear..
White tail deer are at risk for getting a ton of diseases like Cronic Wasting Disease which has a high infection rate when deer are clustered together. And when they have masses of deer, like 1.5 million, there are going to be noses touching.
Though, they are not going to die off anytime soon.
Well, for one, they're hunted. Secondly, we're cutting down forest to accommodate the human population growth; therefore making it harder for them to survive because they're pushed out of their habitat.
Lets put it this way- the existence of us is affecting them xD
But in many places, there's a lot of them to begin with so I'm not so sure if they really are in danger o.O
Are you kidding? The population of whitetail deer has soared in the past century. There are now over 29 million whitetail deer living in the US.
They are classified ';least concern'; by the IUCN, and are not listed as endangered or threatened under the US Endangered Species Act.
They aren't. Estimates are that there are more in the United States than in the time of the colonies.
because i am hungry.
