In Primorye, a wounded roe deer sought help at a hospital
A recent incident reported through a Telegram channel details a roe deer that appeared at a hospital in the city of Arsenyev, Primorye. The animal arrived on Lomonosov Street with injuries to its horns, and blood was seen seeping from the affected areas.
First responders were alerted and arrived near the medical facility to manage the situation. Local patrol teams successfully located the frightened roe deer, which resisted efforts to be restrained and attempted to flee. The animal was eventually captured by the responders without further harm to people or the deer.
Veterinarians conducted an initial examination to determine the cause of the injuries. They assessed that the damage to the horns resulted from contact with a metal fence, rather than a predator or a vehicle. The medical team then proceeded with treatment for the injured animal to stabilize its condition.
After receiving care, plans were laid out to return the roe deer to its natural habitat. The aim was to ensure the animal could recover in the wild and avoid further stress or danger in captivity.
Earlier in Primorye, rescue teams were involved in a separate incident that saw a roe deer fall from a mining ore dump. Such events highlight the ongoing challenges wildlife faces in the region and the importance of prompt, coordinated responses from rescue and veterinary services.
Authorities and rescuers emphasize the commitment to wildlife welfare and to reuniting injured animals with their natural environments whenever feasible. The public is reminded to report any encounters with wildlife to local authorities to ensure safety for both humans and animals.
