The fact it's genetics weaker is by all means true, lighter skin will make it stick out more to predators, and possible health complications was something mentioned earlier i do not know the extent that the fact it is albino could effect that but i'll go along with it because i do not know how being albino effects and animals vitals.
However, how often do you see an albino? If you have, fine thats great. But the greater majority of the hunter population, or population in general never has and probably never will. That is most likely the backbone of why the law protecting albino's was created. Is this a good law? Honestly, I do not believe so. But lawmakers passed it for a reason, and it is not that hard to understand why they would want to protect such a rariety.
The chromosomes that caused this animals genetics to mutate differently from the pack and produce an animal that has the recessive albino trait is something that in the long run will cause the animal to not survive in the wild as long as a "normal" deer would.
However, now that you have stated you have a B.S in Agricultural Science from a well known university. Please answer this; Albino is a recessive trait, we know this through evolution because otherwise there would be tons of albino's running around the woods. So, you're well educated. What happens when the recessive trait (albino trait)mates with a dominant trait (brown hair, non albino). The result is and normal deer. If the other deer is Ab recessive, and the albino is BB, the result is gonna most likely be an piebald. I have a feeling you'll agree with me on that on how genetics work.
On top of that, due to the albino's weaker vitals and sense's, they will not survive as long in nature do to predators. It's how evolution works, survival of the fittest, I am also sure since you have you're BS you are well aware of that and Darwin's theories. (Since it is now illegal to teach that in public highschools, and few are have the privilege to attend private school).
Honestly, I do not agree with that law. If i was out hunting and an albino strolled through, i would want to take it. However, that is just my opinion of the law. Why some states choose to enforce that law is their decision, and it is understandable why they do so. Through evolution the albino's will eventually work themselves out of the "gene pool". I'm sorry if you took offense to me calling you ignorant, however I can understand why some states governments would want to protect such a rare creature. Hopefully this argument will make you realize I am not just some idiot who thinks they know everything. I made my case and supported it with facts. Everyone is entitled to their opions and personal ethics, that is just another factor that makes humans stick out among every other animal. I understand you are entitled to yours' just like everybody else is. It is just my opinion that just because an animal is albino does not mean it has to die (from a hunter) in order to prevent it from harming the rest of the herd.
