it must be crazy for animals that live in the city to see stampedes of cars going at 6-9am and 3-6pm.
i'm pretty sure they recognize the patterns but to not know its purpose must be frustrating as all hell.
this popped into my head as i was driving into the city for work and was seeing one of the few areas that still had a ton of greenery being demolished for new business plazas.
imagine how many animals must have been trapped in there surrounded on all sides by highways full of speeding cars.
this same city houses one of the biggest refinery complexes in the world as well. I remember living near the area as a kid, although now i've moved farther out, but reading about the side effects these places have on you is mind boggling scary.
people who have kids born without ears or massive defects, cancer rates through the roof as well. it wasn't until recently i put two and two together and realized why we have one of the biggest cancer centers in the world.
the normalacy of it all. i guess compared to yesteryear this is regulated paradise but imagine how much damage i'm exposing myself just being in the area(i'm currently parked in the college parking lot in between bouts of snoozing and internet).
you really don't need to look hard to realize the dangers yet people, such as myself, tend to forget all this stuff in the backdrop of out daily lives. sometimes I wonder if this is where i'll die one day. whether it be of old age, early cancer, a victim/perpetrator of road raqe or some other toxin of the city.
if i really get down to it, i don't really know much more than those animals. where we are going or why we continue. i mean, hunger is a hellavu reminder but it's like that motif of the blind man forever walking and powering the gear to move some unknown machine.
i know i'm rambling, but it's not like there's anything better to say.

It's peoples choice to live in cities, and Deer, as you've shown, thrive better in sub-urban environments, so the growth of cities benefits deer. Or at least causes their population to grow through the roof. Couple that with the fact the amount of predators, both other wildlife and people who hunt are diminishing I don't think deer are really confused so much as ecstatic after a generation or so.
Also that's a thick fuarrrking deer. Probably tough as fuarrrk meat, but his racks so tiny. It's weird.

But to focus on OP, I don't think animals of the mental capacity deer and voters are in actually understand anything. They're highly reflexive and respond quickly to stimuli. They don't really reason. Still not as machine-like as insects.
