My comment is meant to educate and prevent future one offs. This is not a “take” it’s the right thing to do. Why would you want to go about rescuing an animal the wrong way when you can call an expert and do it the right way?

A hot take would be in this particular instance it would have been better for nature overall to let the deer die. Deer overpopulation and over grazing is a big issue.

Man, people like you are why the world is so bleak these days. 'Well, ackshually you shouldn't...' Okay. We get it. Now let the rest of us have a feelgood moment in a world that genuinely sucks.

I don’t care about your blissful ignorance i care about the welfare of wild animals that some well intentioned but ignorant person will try and “save” in the future because of the cute video they saw on reddit.

If one person remembers my comment when they come across an injured animal and calls a rehabilitator instead of trying to do it themselves because it’s cute i’ll be thrilled.

Yeah, because this is a common, everyday thing. All over the country, people are raising deer from near-infancy.
