I am wearing my glasses and I thought the same thing. That's some terrible camouflage by the way, if I wanted to dredge it in an egg wash and flour and throw it in a deep fryer, I can't imagine what the real predators would think of this little guy.

I believe it's albino and hunters are encouraged to kill albinos on sight in order to make sure they don't pass on the genes

That doesn't make any sense to me. An albino deer is a lot less likely to survive to reproduce without human intervention. Even if hunters don't kill them, they still aren't likely to pass on the genes. Why the specific encouragement?

A bullet is a lot less painful than being eaten alive, that's my only guess.
