Too many people think wild animals are furry people from the Disney movies.

They are not the kind gentle creaatures that are portrayed by Disney. They are wild and will attack if they feel threatened as will any other wild animal. I was attacked by one while photographing him. I fortunately stayed behind a tree and the buck slammed into the small tree trying to hit me. His antlers literally went by my legs on both sides when he attacked. I think it knocked him a bit silly.

So I stay away from deer.

All the meek deer have been shot & eaten, leaving nothing but killer attack deer.

That’s one tough dude! But he knew what he was dealing with. You should see the idiots here on Long Island who like to feed the cute deer and their fawns on the side of the road despite the signs that warn them not to do so. They never see the big buck watching them from the bushes nearby waiting to see them make a move he doesn’t like. They do think the world is a Disney movie.

...Christianson tried to retreat back his house but the deer followed. Christian dove into a 1992 Bonneville that he kept in his yard and waited for the deer to wander off...

This tells me a lot about the setting. Not many households have a 1992 Bonneville as a lawn ornament.

I believe animals get a necropsy, not an autopsy.
But, a very interesting post. Wild animals are not our friends.
Thanks.

Vicious does have stomped at least three of our cats to death, and one neighbor’s small dog. They are beautiful wild animals with emphasis on “wild”. Finally our property is fenced and deer proof but I still miss Watkins, my favorite cat.

Disney movies teach ignorance and cause violence. Better ban 'em.
