Lexington, Kentucky — The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued a cautionary alert regarding a significant increase in cases of hemorrhagic disease (HD)
Residents are being encouraged to report any sightings of sick or dead deer to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. This reporting is vital for effective monitoring of the disease’s spread and impacts. Additionally, as deer migrate towards roadways in search of water, authorities are advising drivers to exercise heightened caution to prevent deer-related accidents, especially during this peak season for such occurrences.
To assist in mitigating risks and ensuring public safety, residents can reach out to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife via their official website or telephone. This initiative is part of a broader effort to address the impacts of HD on local wildlife and minimize the associated risks to both animals and human communities.
