Deer
12 Answers
The car in front of me hit a baby deer earlier. Poor little thing hobbled/dragged itself to the edge of the road and went off into the woods. The car driver obviously knew he'd hit it but didn't slow down or anything. Can't stop thinking about it, soppy aren't I?

On the continent , you must report it and in some countries get a tracker out to find it and kill it. Unfortuntaely, they may look uninjured but if are hit in their jaw or legs, can basically starve to death.
It is good practice, that if you know whose land it is to inform them, as there might be a stalker nearby who could find it.
the British Deer Society are loooking to set up a register of people who can track deer , and that only has to be good for the welfare of the animals.
Not soppy, just caring

I agree - not soppy at all. I will do my very best to avoid hitting anything but I too have seen drivers who seem to do it deliberately. I get very upset at the amount of road kill around here - I often see deer, badgers and foxes dead at the side of the road as well as loads of rabbits and pheasants.
A fact of life I am sorry to say.
I feel guilty if I hit a bird let alone a deer. Thus far, I have managed to avoid them even though I live in the sticks.
Rest assured, if the deer was alright it would soon join its herd, and will just hobble about for a while.
If it is badly injured, the suffering will not last long as the elements or a hungry fox will soon have it. Harsh, but that is nature.
To question garner, I have never actually seen anybody hit an animal on purpose. In fact if I did I would probably hit them on purpose, or kick them swiftly in the knackers!!!
