Petition: Protect America’s Deer From Fast-Spreading Diseases

Across the U.S., deer populations are facing a sharp and alarming rise in deadly infections. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) have long existed, but Climate change is accelerating their spread. In Ohio, one resident recently found 14 dead deer in under a mile, a grim sign of how quickly these illnesses are escalating. Sign the petition now to push for urgent intervention.

Warming temperatures mean the insects that transmit these diseases survive later into autumn and emerge earlier each spring. The result is devastating: reported sick and dead deer in Ohio quadrupled between 2024 and 2025, wiping out wildlife and harming local economies that rely on hunting seasons. Some families report losses exceeding $15,000.

The National Deer Association has the ability to Support wildlife vaccines that could slow or stop this crisis. They must act now to protect vulnerable herds and prevent further ecological damage. Sign the petition now and demand immediate action.
