What Would You Do?

[Hot Meat 3,109]

A mate phoned me earlier this evening and told me he had been out with his kids his young lurcher and his terrier. Having a mooch about before the youngsters went to bed. He said he was around half a mile from home when his terriercwas workingva hedgerow and the young lurcher was waitingg for bunnys bolting. He said all of a sudden lurchers attitude had changed an it started marking a hedge the opposite side of the path they was on. He called her into heel an crept forward expecting a cat or a fox to bbolt. Instead it was a young roe buck with not one but two broken legs. One front and one rear. He said it got up and wobbled/ run into the field but it was in a terrible state. So he caught it and humanely put its suffering to an end. On the way home he bumped into a stalker who he told what had happend. He said the stalker was not amused in the least and he had been phoned this morning and asked to sort it out. Would you take the same risk to end an animals suffering? Or with todays daft laws would you become one of those passers by that can keep walking and feel nothing

I'm with Bird on this one. Today's laws and my conscience mean it is right AND lawful

What exactly are the legalities of such a problem? Anybody know? Id like to think id have done the same. He said there was no way he would/could have left it knowing it was there. He says his kids atleast got a lesson in humanity and where fully made aware of why he done what he done

[Hot Meat 3,109]

Forgot to add he said he would not use the Meat off it as it was more or less rotten. Said he had never seen one in such a bad way

Probably the stalker that broke its legs

Stuff the stalker! Any animal suffering like that should be put out it's misery without a 2nd thought

I have only ever shot 2 deer in my life and the first was a Roe calf with exactly the same injuries. Obviously hit by a car. Poor wee thing didn't even try and run. Went and got the .22 and put it out its misery. Correct thing was done.. Anyone saying any different needs to give there head a shake.

nothing should be made to suffer unnecessarily, some stalker that couldn`t find a deer with two broken leggs no brainer in my book

the laws are way off nowdays. as for asking what to do? the right thing is made without a heartbeat and put the poor critter out of its suffering as most on here already would do.

He done the right thing but should have said nothing ...........
