That’s why you don’t stand outside in a thunderstorm. Stupid deer.

Such a tragedy. Venison should be slow cooked.

Saw a small herd of cows zapped like that about 5 years ago. They were all huddled under a tree during a storm and got flash-fried. Reminded me of a hot dog cooker from the 60’s or 70’s where the electrodes went in each end of the dogs and cooked them in about a minute.

Wasn’t pretty.

Deer are having a rough time this year. Weather has been particularly harsh. Poor things.

I believe a law should be introduced that deer cannot be roving in teams more than 2./sarc/ is that necessary?

Can we start with lightening taking out the UN building when it is in session? I’ve got a whole lot of places to suggest before your herd of caribou at ANWR.

Waiting on the president - “We condemn in the strongest way possible this lightning strike which robbed deer of their future. We have work to do... “
