CANBY, Ore. (AP) - A large deer with an impressive display of antlers got into some trouble in Canby on Tuesday. Clackamas County Sheriff's Deputy Jeff Miller and an Oregon State Police officer responded to a report of a deer entangled in a rope in south Clackamas County. A resident of South Pellican Road said the deer was in distress. Deputy Jeff Miller reported the deer was unable to free itself from the grip of the entangled rope suspended from a tree. The rope was snarled in the deer's antlers. It occurred to the law enforcement officials that a stun gun might do the job by momentarily incapacitating the animal. It would be just long enough to untie the bonds of rope from the deer antlers and set it free. The plan worked. Miller said he did not have to resort to destroying the animal, which ran off free to roam the forest again.
Heartless bastard!! There was no need to use violence on that deer! That man should be reported to the Humane Soceity and cited for cruelty to animals ...and worse, cruelty to animals totally unable to protect themselves! The deputy should have first tried diplomacy. And if, after months of diplomatic efforts brought about no change, then and only then should action have been taken ....BUT... only with the full support and approval of all members of the UN, the ACLU, the NAACP, the HSOA, and any and all animal rights groups that have ever existed anywhere on the planet!

You cervine apologist! Deer have had it too good for too long in our streets and cities, and they've been doing it at the expense of good honest working people. Presuming that the news is presenting me with an accurate view of the world then deer antler snarlings have risen sharply in the last year alone. I lack the mathematical prowess to understand how these stories might be statistically insignificant, so I shall loudly bellow about how it's getting so that a man can't hang a piece of rope in a tree anymore without one of these cloven hoofed DEVIANTS getting their antlers tangled in it like the own the place.
I wonder how many kids were harmed or killed in India in the last few months? Sam, you seem to know a lot about things happening in the US, but you never post any such horrors about India. Or don't the Indian news agencies write about such things in their own nation? ...keeping it a secret?? Baron Max
