We can see them on videos or on a path. Deer have abnormal or even dangerous behavior and this would be due to a state of intoxication. Explanations.
A crazy race in the courtyard of the gymnasiums or in that of a gendarmerie. Deer behave abnormally, even dangerously. They would be drunk. A witness saw it several times on her way to work, always in the spring. “He really doesn’t walk straight, he looks really disoriented. He’s like lost”, she says. A daze caused by the voracious appetite of deer. For a specialist, the culprit could be a pimple. “It’s a concentrate of sugar. It’s a ruminant so there is a principle of fermentation which will occur and which will create a state of intoxication”he says.
A toxin involved?
For a veterinarian, the reason would be quite different. It would be food poisoning. “The plant defends itself against herbivores and produces toxins and therefore a small animal like the deer is very quickly poisoned”, he justifies. There is no scientific study on the subject.
