Letter: Slow down, watch for deer

WildARC is amazing. Another man and I found a yearling buck, that someone driving on Rocky Point Road hit and left in the middle of the road.

We were just about to pick up and take the little one in when by sheer dumb luck WildARC staff were driving by. She quickly blanketed the injured baby and went to get the truck and crate.

Very quickly another WildARC staff member came to reassure us she was on the way, and check on the little one, and when she arrived she calmly and carefully got him in the crate and into her truck.

Thank you. Words aren’t enough.

To the person who left the little one in the middle of the road with likely a broken back, that baby was in pain and didn’t just die instantly nor did it run from where you hit it (we could see the marks in the road).

Please slow down, expect deer on the road, go to WildARC and donate a sizeable chunk of your income for those who cleaned up after you.
