Bambi Trapped, Released
Strange sounds in my back yard last night, snorts and guttural grunts.
Never heard anything like it before. A young deer had became trapped, hopelessly tangled in wire garden tomato cages. It was thrashing around, attempting to free itself, and in obvious distress. I called the Wake County Sheriff's Office for advice and assistance. I wanted to release the animal if possible. If it had been seriously injured (broken leg) it should be put down. Two patrol cars arrived. The easy route would be to shoot the unfortunate animal. One bullet, case closed. These two officers were brave and kind enough to immobilize the deer, allowing me to cut the wire with bolt cutters. After a few seconds the deer stood up and bounded off in to the woods, frightened but intact. My thanks to Sergeant Byrd and Deputy Gray for their effective and humane approach to a potentially hazardous wildlife situation. Daniel B. Martin |
