Missplaced sympathies. The bloody things are a menace to road traffic in a lot of areas, including where I live.

I think humans and traffic are more of a menace to the dear

Yes it would have been easier but thank heavens some haven't completely lost their ability to empathise with wildlife

[steg]

I'm sure someone at AB towers is missing aboat with are text!

[steg]

Aye I will hae to learn how to spell deer, d e e r

Nothing wrong with trying to help it first. And then eating it when recovery is no longer an option.

[gness]

Who are you calling deer, Hen?!

Maybe so, but I think he actually wanted to RESCUE it ..bogface.

[Zacs-Master]

Gness, I've never had a problem either apart from the first ever driving lesson i took my daughter on and as we rounded a corner there was a fairly large Deer stood in the middle of the road.

Nah that would be AOG saying "they wasn't treated much differently" after pulling me up on my spelling!

[Baldric]

While I understand his motive, I can't help thinking that carrying a Deer with a broken leg and pelvic injuries any distance must have caused it a lot of pain and distress.

[gness]

That happens, Zacs......my daughter was grateful for good brakes when a herd leapt over the hedge onto a Devon lane in front of her.....but they're not a menace...
If fact I'd say they are more entitled to be on the road than a good few drivers....x

Good, kind man.

The Tim Vine joke:

Moose are responsible for 3000 accidents a year in Norway.
It's their own fault for letting them drive!
