Reports of missing creatures are part of the daily routine in the life of any animal advocate. And the volunteers at Wild Florida Rescue in the United States are more than used to what is part of their trade, writes valuablestories
This time, the rescue of a baby deer broke their hearts, as the little one was reluctant to accept what had happened.
Next to the deer was the body of his mother.
A citizen’s call alerted rescue teams to the situation: on the side of a road was a frightened deer hugging the lifeless body of who is presumed to be its mother.
As soon as the situation was reported to them, a team from Wild Florida Rescue showed up on the scene.
As can be interpreted from what they found, the family was wandering around the area at the time the adult doe was hit by a motorist. This person was not sensitive enough to stop and left the animal lying there.
The one who could not leave the scene was undoubtedly the faithful calf.
This deer was standing next to the body as if waiting for the mother to wake up. This deeply moved the rescuers who could not help but feel indignant at the scene.
As Crystene Prokop of Wild Florida Rescue explained, this little boy was only a few days old when his mother died, so he was not separated from the body.
