He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himIt doesn't happen often to come across such a scene. A small fawn, born very recently, is still unable to walk. How much tenderness!
We are in the woods of the Abruzzo National Park and the camera is by Pietro Santucci, a trekking expert.
The perfect occasion to remember that we must not let ourselves be overcome by the desire to help them or to caress them.
“Because in the first weeks of life, the little one spends little time with his mother, who approaches to breastfeed him and moves away at the first sign of danger, returning to him only when he feels safe; the fawn is protected exclusively by the total lack of smell, by the mimicry given to it by the colors of the coat and by absolute immobility ”, explains the expert in a post on social media.
During an excursion it can happen that you find yourself in front of a roe deer cub and the instinct, seeing it alone, is to take it with you and to entrust it to someone Specialized center which takes care of safeguarding wild animals. But this sometimes can not be the right choice.
Roe deer cubs as well as deer cubs are accustomed animals to be alone during the day, it is good to know that the mother often goes away to look for food or to distract potential predators, and then return to pick up her puppy.
We are therefore faced with a temporary removal that does not hide an abandonment, touching or taking away the little roe deer, therefore, means making it unrecognizable to the mother and indirectly condemning it to certain death.
Just these days it's the DEL, the unconventional animal center in Turin to sound the alarm on its Facebook page:
Roe deer cubs continue to arrive, most of them IT DID NOT NEED TO BE SAVED ...they were just doing what a goose of that age must do: sit still and wait for the mother to come back in the evening, or at least when there is no one around, to feed him.
As good as we are now at breeding them, not everyone tolerates the bottle, not all digest goat milk, not all resist it stress manipulation ... in short, few make it to an adult stage.
Why do you persist in believing that they need to be saved and you kidnap them from a mother who is desperate not to find them and is sick for her breast full of milk ???
A child who is waiting for the mother who does the shopping to feed him, would you take him away ???
THINK before doing damage that is sometimes irreparable !!!!
THANK YOU by the little “bambi”….
To protect animals, you just need to check if they are injured and only if they are, it is necessary to contact the provincial wildlife services or the park offices or the State Forestry Corps at 1515, they will know how to intervene without altering the balance or well-being of the animal.
If there are no situations of real danger roe deer must not be disturbed for any reason in the world, much less be touched, remembering that wild animals are protected by national law n ° 157/1992 which establishes that they "are a good for all that can never be owned by individuals".
In conclusion, as the CANC advises, even if you are in good faith, before removing a roe deer from its natural habitat, really make sure that it is orphan, because reintegration may not be so easy.
