A (pigeon) problem and a solution

[Busterboo]

There is one, actually two, things. We have those whistles on the front of the car, AND we drive much slower on roads known to have deer crossing so there's more time to react. I hope you ended that poor deer's suffering ASAP.

Deer and roads in England are smaller than in America (and the deer often so than in Scotland). English deer, in my experience, tend not to wander on the roads, but spring out onto them before running across, so "whistles" aren't often much use.

You're right, though. Driving slower helps.

Preferable to dear. My son has a ponshan for Roe dear. One wrecked his Ford Ka. The second had the decency to all ready be dead when he ran over it in his Mx5. just cracked the bumper on that one.

I was in a car that hit a young dear one evening in Dorset, it was very distressing, this beautiful little thing was disembowelled, its back leg ripped off and still alive. I did not know deer can scream, it is awful.

Dear.
I was starting to think that this was a little old lady until I read back leg. I think they only have front legs.

I’m pretty sure that even when the individual is very little and very old, we still call their front legs ‘arms’. Of course, when very, very little and very, very young these ‘arms’ might be confused for front legs
