Car Hits Deer, Gives Deer Ride to Work

A deer survived a 25-mile ride in the bumper of a car after it was hit by a motorist travelling to work.

The muntjac deer remained unnoticed by the driver who thought he had hit a stone and continued on his way.

Only when he reached Sainsbury's distribution centre in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, did his colleagues point out the animal was stuck in his Rover.

Vets examined the deer but found no injuries apart from cuts and bruises and released it back into the wild.

As Professor Hex pointed out, you really must see the picture on the website. But this worries me. If the deer learn that cars are not just evil deer-killing machines, but devices used for the conveyance of human beings, they might start stealing cars and using them in great deer migrations to escape our hunting seasons. Unfortunately, this deer was released into the wild. It's too late. The knowledge will spread. We are doomed.
