albino deer
24/10/08 06:54 AM

Wondering why states go out of their way to protect albino deer(specifically whitetails in Iowa). Sure, they're rare, but the gene that causes albinism is not an indicator of a healthy herd. It's a recessive genetic defect that, more often than not, surfaces as a result of inbreeding.Do a bit of researck into white tigers and see how many are born either deformed or "mentally disabled"(unable to be trained for shows they're intended for)There should be some benefit to hunters who kill an albino deer and remove it from the gene pool-free second tag maybe? Instead of that, the hunter in Iowa who kills an albino deer is rewarded with several thousand dollars in fines. Even in the reptile trade, albino snakes tend to have more health problems than normals-Burmese pythons are inbred to the point that it's hard to get even a normal snake that is healthy. Rare isn't always good.
