It is an unpleasant sight, an innocent animal stuck in a fence and unable to be helped. This afternoon this was the fate of a deer near Dalerveen. The scene of the accident was flooded with emergency services. But why are so many parties interested in helping a deer?
In principle, the Wildlife Management Unit of the Fauna Management Unit (FBE) receives reports of animals in distress. “They take a look and if the injuries are not too bad, we will see how we should take action,” says Annemay Bock of the Animal Ambulance. In the worst case, it will be quickly and professionally put out of its suffering, you can read on the FBE Drenthe website.
Not only the Fauna Management Unit is alerted to such incidents, but also the police and fire brigade. For firefighters, it is mainly to see if they can help free an animal. “Sometimes an animal is stuck in a fence and the fire brigade has equipment to cut the fence loose and help the animal,” says Bock.
