The first one I ran into on patrol (MP in Germany) and the poor thing didn't die out right. I was wearing a gun, of course, but the station wouldn't give me permission to kill the animal. I had to go to the Polizei and ask them to shoot the deer. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived back at the scene it was already dead. I really don't like killing animals, but I definitely respect your view. Although, that being said I would have rather kill that deer then see it suffer.
The second deer, thankfully, died on impact. It is also occurred while I was on patrol in Germany. I could be thankful that both of them were German deer and therefore relatively small. Both times I was driving a German VW van. The irony is there wasn't a single bit of damage to the van either time.
BillyHi Billy,I like a few of the others don't agree in killing animals for sports, but I can't understand why the guy at the petrol station couldn't let you shoot the deer after hitting it!! Okay it sounds cruel, but it's a lot kinder to the animal to put it out of pain quickly if there's no way or saving the animal. Sounds horrible, but it's a sad fact that my mum has always made me realise and understand.Love Smurf xxx
