Deer Goes Crazy On A Dog And Cat

[BadWolf]

What were you watching, Hos? That cat was chewing on that fawn. You could hear the cat ask for some cous cous to go with it's venison.


I was out looking at some property out in the Hill Country one day. When I walked up to the lot this little family of deer began to run off. There was a baby deer, a mommy deer and a daddy deer, which surprised me because I thought all the daddy deers abandoned their families. He did in Bambi.

I walked over the neighboring fence line where this mutt was barking at me. The dog had been barking as soon as I got out of my car, so I was going to see if I could calm him down. As I approached the dog I hear a chirping coming from the deer whom I thought had already evacuated the area. It was the mommy deer. She was really making a racket, which was directed at the male. Then the daddy deer started to take a few steps in my direction. He stopped and stared at me. He then looked back at the mommy deer and she began chirping away again. He then looked back towards me and took a few more steps in my direction. It was as if the mommy deer was yelling at him to do something to protect his family.

I swear the daddy deer then rolled its eyes at me as if it were pleading for me to help him look good in front of his old lady. I looked over at the dog who had stopped barking to watch the deer. The dog gave me one of those tilts of the heads that dogs do when they are perplexed. I threw my hands up in the air and yelled out "Okay, you win. Just don't hurt me. You are my superior." and headed for my car. Daddy dear lets out a snort and then turns to run off with mommy and baby following close behind.

Sounds like he was wanting you to get him out of that relationship. To much nagging for his liking.

Naw. If it was those nature lovers would have shooed the cat away.

I looked for a story on this. Anyone know how the dog is?

Moral of the story...never threaten a baby in the wild. These people thought this was very cute, and the baby was. The cat seeming to love on the baby was kind of cute. But that deer was going on thousands of years of instincts that simply cannot be suppressed.

Deer are a lot tougher than people think. I have seen articles where deer have killed dogs and even people. Usually a buck who gores someone with his antlers, but a mama deer is not some frilly little animal who is harmless.

Those people were crazy to have that dog out there where they knew a baby fawn was. That is inviting an attack.

WARNING: this is disturbing stuff. A newborn fawn creates a dangerous situation when mom gets protective. Starts cute, ends scary. I cut the footage because I ended up filming the dog's owner, whose privacy had to be protected. (How or why I filmed her, I can't say. I was too shocked to think, it's not like I expected any of this to happen.) The dog eventually left limping—since posting here we have been able to contact the lady. THE DOG IS OKAY, but traumatized. River, my deer-whispering cat, is fine—we'll see if he learned his lesson. We did call animal control, there was "nothing they could do" to prevent further trouble. Yes, my being there filming contributed to the problem, stressing the doe. And yes, I feel bad about it. I didn't post this so it could go viral and I could receive comments from all over (some of those were great, thank you), I posted it so people in this area can measure the importance of the problem and maybe come up with ways to avoid similar or worse incidents. Should I have stopped filming and helped the dog? Frankly, this turned ugly so fast I had no time to think, I had no clue what I could do, other than show how swiftly these innocuous looking animals can become dangerous. Had I intervened, by the time I'd found some broomstick, the dog might have been spared three seconds of this ordeal, but I wouldn't have this footage to share and get people thinking about how urgent it has become to find ways to address the situation. Hearing about the event wouldn't have the same impact, would it? This is not about an individual deer, we have hundreds roaming around. To the gun lovers out there: I know zip about hunting, yet I'm positive that opening fire two blocks from an elementary school would have been frowned upon. When I advocate for government intervention, I suggest the job would require professionals or even amateurs who would avoid killing animals indiscriminately. And I don't even know that the solution would be to slaughter these animals. (In Churchill, Manitoba, they relocate the polar bears who come to town. Granted, those are endangered.) So, no, I'm not sorry for filming and posting this scene. This is not about spreading some sick, voyeuristic fun. My children live here. Kids walk to school every day. I'd feel a lot better if I knew none of them would ever think to pet a fawn. I may not have helped this poor dog, I sure believe I might still get to help others.

Thanks Joe R. I am glad to know the dog is going to be okay. Makes this whole situation nothing but a learning experience I hope.

Government intervention.
Oh brother. Something happened, get over it and stop looking for future insurance. Life happens.

We need a 3 billion dollar program to teach people that wild animals are dangerous.

I would have gotten a smarter dog.

Let him live where bear are wandering in your yard daily, he'll be begging for the deer.

I think more people are killed by deer than any other animal in the U.S. Maybe even all the other animals combined. Of course most of that is car vs. deer and not deer attacks.

 

[zrinkill]

If you count car wrecks, deer kill the most people ....... if you count attacking human ...... domesticated dogs.

And they're scarey.

You can tell how many times people like you guys have seen a wild animal in the woods ...... any dog would have gotten trampled and whooped like that one if it had run head into that deer.

Wolves do not attack deers head on .... they get it running and then drag it down with a pack.

A timberwolf would run from the deer if it was charging it and then sneak back and try to get it in flight mode.

The only thing that dog did that was stupid was let the deer get over it ..... it never had a chance.

and you can tell that someone like yourself has never seen a pissed off pitbull.

 

[zrinkill]

and you can tell that someone like yourself has never seen a pissed off pitbull.

I have actually owned a few

But no matter how you would like to romanticize how powerful they are against each other and humans, a 40-60 lb dog is gonna get trampled by a 140 - 200 lb hooved deer ....... he cannot get to its throat and a deer spends its whole life avoiding predators on its legs.

Its not even close ...... I am sorry you cannot understand that.

True story:

About 4 years ago my 100 pounds Coon/Rot mix chased a dear just about that size about a half mile into the woods before I stopped chasing him only to return home about 2 hours later dragging a deer carcus with him.

Not all dogs will lay down and take that *** whooping. lol
