About

Reports of accidents involving deer are increasing each year. Many are killed, some disappear to die later, but a significant proportion are injured and remain alive at the scene. 
Such animals may suffer badly and are a potential further hazard to road users. Often the only reasonable course is to humanely dispatch the animal as soon as it is safe to do so.
