i used to work on the nj turnpike (seasonal help) and part of that job was removing dead deer from the roadside. we'd lift it onto a pickup bed, drive it back to the district building, and they'd dig a huge hole with an excavator to bury it.one day we found one freshly killed. she had a broken neck but everything else was intact, probably peaked her head out and got hammered by an 18-wheeler. we then noticed that she had a very bloated belly and milk streaming from her nipples. long story short: we suspected her of being pregnant, so when we took her back to base, i took on the task of cutting her open to see if there was a fawn that needed to be saved.
anyway, she was empty. must have just given birth and was nursing, so not only was it a gruesome waste of time but there was also the knowledge of some tiny fawn starving to death in the woods. all-around shitty day, really.
This story #triggered feelings of sadness in me 🙁
