Deer of course, if they could post here, would see humans as a serious threat to the environment and public health, what with all those roadways and rediculous motor vehicles moving at unholy speeds endangering all woodland creatures.

Long, long ago, I worked for my uncle who was a building contractor. We arrived once at a new job site and soon heard an odd noise coming from the woods. We ventured into those woods a mere 50 feet and found a fawn, not more than one week old. I surmise the mom deceided to have her baby way to close to the road and when the masons arrived to build the foundation, due to the activity and noise, she felt compelled to abandon her baby. I took that fawn home, sitting on my lap in the truck, and presented it to my niece who lived on an apple farm. That fawn grew to be fine looking deer with very little fear of humans. It is one of the most charming things in the world for a so called wild animal to walk up and greet you. There are plenty of deer about and also plenty of humans.
