Wed 19 Aug, 20:58 A sad story but excellent awareness for all of us. "Please, if you hit, witness a collision with, or find an injured deer stop somewhere safe. Never put yourself or other road users in danger. You should record the exact location. A What3Words location can be extremely helpful when directing a rescue team to an animal. "Please also contact your nearest wildlife rescue organisation as soon as possible and if the deer is on or immediately beside a carriageway and presents a danger to traffic, contact the police as well. "You may not always be able to prevent a collision with a wild animal, but you can control what you do afterwards. "That one phone call could mean the difference between an animal being left frightened and in severe pain for hours or receiving the urgent help it needs. "Please share this post to help spread awareness. You never know who may find themselves in this situation in the future." https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/26478407.deer-dies-catastrophic-injuries-heartbreaking-incident/ |
