Deer Attacks Woman
 

A 75-year-old northeast Ohio woman is recovering from injuries she received this week when a deer got into her home and attacked her.

Mary Blake of suburban Cleveland opened her patio door Wednesday to let her border collie back inside and was shocked when a female deer followed close behind.

Blake says she tried to shut the door, but the deer knocked it off track and then knocked into Blake and started stomping her.

Blake frantically called police as the deer damaged her walls, furniture and some keepsakes.

Two police officers arrived and were able to coax the deer outside.

Blake was treated at the hospital for bruises and cuts on her arms, legs and stomach. She has 27 stitches on her right knee.

While I feel bad for the woman...


I find it sooo ironic that while we invade the deer's home and kill them everyday, a deer does the same and it's a big deal. (And while I could go on about animals and such, I won't start a debate.)



...Poor animals.

If a deer got in my house and started trashing it, I'd beat the hell out of it with a bat before I called the cops. Forget "coaxing" it outside. A good stiff shot to the knee would do the trick.

Seems as though the deer had the same idea

Deer got in a bowling alley around here a year or so ago, and of course the poor thing freaked out. They just let it freak and didn't bother it and it stopped after a few minutes, of course. Then they gently coaxed it outside.

Violence to poor animals does nothing. All we need is to remain calm. We are so quick to violence it is sickening.


And hey... humans have it coming anyhow. :P

I don't think I'm sickening because I would want to get a retarded animal out of my house before it breaks all the stuff I worked hard to get.

Besides, it's not like I'm the one out there ripping up their home. Now if the deer got into some ass hat hunter's place, who just kills for the sake of killing, then that would be funny.

It's not like I'm a violent animal hating maniac. There are a lot more animals I'd rather have living than human beings, but you've got to protect yourself, or your property. So if some freaked out deer got in my house and was wrecking it, I wouldn't wait for it to calm down.

It's the rich ones you gotta beat with a crowbar, that achieves something. What does it achieve, you ask? Money making.

Actually, we sure are. Every time we build or litter or whatever, we're destroying their homes. We are constantly ruining their land.

And I'm not arguing, just sayin', is all. :)

Deer are just stupid animals, if Bambi 1 and the epic that was Bambi 2, taught us anything, it was that. They're dumb, and too dumb to have homes.

Then we should just destroy ALL animal habitats in one go, so we don't have to worry about ruining their "homes" anymore. We call them "homes" how many animals have a TV?

And anyone who cried during Bambi is either gay or communist.

You cannot define a 'home' by if someone has a TV or not. If that were true, then some humans wouldn't have 'homes', either.

But, as it were...


So there we go. A television is not the pre-requisite for a 'home'. Anyone who thinks so may be a tad shallow and materialistic. Material possesions do not 'make' someone or something.

I won't comment on the 'stupid animal' comment, because humans are technically animals, also. And I happen to think we are among the most stupid.

I also find offense with the 'communist or gay' comment. I didn't cry during Bambi, but that is not a fair assumption, nor a nice thing to say about someone who was merely showing emotion.

I know what you're saying, but that's not me. I don't litter, I don't leave water running, I compost and recycle. I'm very environmental aware, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let a freaked out deer break my expensive china that holds sentimental value to me, just because it walked into my house and it would be wrong to hurt it.

Some of us can say bad things and still be a good and responsible person you know. :)

Of course, my dear. :)

At least it didn't break into Ted Nugent's house.

Weird wild stuff. Not a typical deer thing to go on the offensive, y'know?

Anybody think the inevitable has happened and the animals are finally organizing an attack on the human race? Don't judge me or anything, but I'm totally siding with the animals.

Ha! Surviving Ted Nugent, indeed. :P :)
