Sadly, there is little good news coming out of Wednesday's wild deer death in Dodge City for a variety of reasons, a state public land manager said.
The deer that crashed through the heavy front window sustained mortal injuries which required the administration of sedatives to the animal. The introduction of drugs into its system made it impossible to utilize the venison for possible human consumption. It also eliminated the option of perhaps taking the animal to the Wright Park Zoo to recover, had its injuries not been so severe.
The small buck received severe lacerations from crashing through the window, but it also broke its legs, which made its survival an impossibility, said officer Manuel Torres, a public land manager based out of Garden City.
"Unfortunately, we had to put the animal down. You can't let it suffer a slow painful death. There was also a threat of infection even if it had not broken its legs," Torres said with frustration.
