Years of overhunting have resulted in the extinction of the population of white-tailed deer living in a forest. Several decades later, conservationists propose a plan to re-introduce a new population of deer to the forest by transplanting several deer from an area with a healthy population of white-tailed deer. Ethical dilemmas likely to arise from this plan include all of the following except:
A Humans living near the forest might contract Lyme disease from exposure to ticks from the transplanted deer.
B The forest might no longer be able to sustain a population of deer, resulting in overgrazing and food shortages.
C Deer might encroach on the habitats of smaller inhabitants of the forest such as squirrels and foxes.
D Deer might wander away from the forest and into the surrounding community of humans, risking injury and death.
The area from which the deer are transplanted might suffer from a corresponding loss of biodiversity.
