Folks joke about using guns, knives, etc. in this situation, but any of those would be preferable to physically fighting the deer, causing the animal extreme distress for 40 minutes, before strangling it. There just had to be a better way.

You just think 'what's the best way I can get this fucker out?'

Again, you have NO IDEA how much they put up with. None. You don't know how much damage was caused. I doubt yourself or PETA would have showed up and paid for the damage to the house had he just let it do its thing. Or for the medical bills (funeral bills?) of trying to drag a frightened deer out of a house. He got leverage on the thing & it allowed him to take action. That doesn't mean he could have carried it out of the house. |

Of course, knowing that the deer was said to have been jumping over the bed back and forth I can rightfully say that shit was definately being broken.

Diva and WWG, are you vegetarians? I'm not trying to mock, but that could be a reason why you're against what this man did. As Adam Warren said early on, this guy is only guilty of catching his own food. If he had let the deer go, and then headed to the supermarket to get some porkroast, would he be any less a murderer? If he had stabbed the deer repeatedly or something, I could see the anger, but he broke it's neck, which is about as decent a death as an animal can ask for. |

The guy was an idiot for tangling with the deer in the first place, sure, but there's nothing inhumane about killing a crazed animal the size of an NFL linebacker that's tearing through your house. If I had to choose between watching everything I own get destroyed or another dead deer, I'd pick my stuff. And considering how selfish and materialistic you'd have to be to screw Amazon out of $45 worth of DVDs, Diva, don't pretend you wouldn't feel the same way. |

And yeah, I'll give it to you because of your unfamiliarty with the animals, but anytime you trap a large wild animal in a confined, unfamiliar space it's going to go nuts. I don't know what you are imagining, but it seems to be this image of bambi jumping up and down on the bed in an musing and lighthearted manner.
