Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

This morning, on my way to the store, I saw a flare in the road. As I got closer, I saw that someone had put it there because a deer had been injured and was laying in the middle of the road, still alive and moving his (or her) head around.

I drove by, feeling sorry for the deer, but not sure what I could do about it. It looked so sad.

On the way back, a man with a pick-up had pulled over to help the deer. I also pulled over to see what he was doing.

I really wish I hadn’t. He pulled out a hunting knife and slit the deer’s throat, blood everywhere.

I know that it was probably the only thing to to for the deer, and we are in an area where hunting is a way of life, but I’ve never gotten used to seeing these things.

You left some perfectly good venison lying in the road?

Sheesh.

If it was hit by a car, the meat is mostly no good, and you have the fun possibility of slivers of bone showing up in your steak.

Dragongirl, he did the right thing. Out here the cops shoot them when they find them still alive.
