You’ve heard of Night of the Living Dead, I’m sure. Well, welcome to Night of the Living Deer. The Walking Dead is now the Walking Deer, and so on. Got a good pun to describe this? Let me know.
Where did these zombie deer come from? We assume they read too many political postings on Facebook. Or, maybe they ate too much out of the dumpsters at the local marijuana shops. We’re not sure what created these things, but we’re thinking it’s probably a good idea to steer clear of them.
Meanwhile, how can you protect yourself from the zombie deer? Like vampires are afraid of crosses, zombie deer run for the hills at the sight of jerky seasonings. Of course, that won’t solve the problem; we’ll need to eradicate them so they don’t infect other species. What could be worse than zombie deer? Zombie cougar (especially 200-pounders), zombie bear, and zombie turkey.
So, how can we put a stop to them? It’s simple! Don’t take pictures of deer at night using a flash. Happy April Fool’s Day!
