Route 210 North right before Palmer Road - deer sitting on the shoulder injured but alive. Young guy still with fur on his little nubs for antlers.
he's sitting upright in the center of the shoulder. Doesn't look seriously injured but I could see a little blood on the pavement behind him. This bothers me - we are crawling by as normal at this time on 210 (about 6:30 - 6:40 am) and I think that for someone to have hit him, they must have been driving faster then traffic was at this point so he must have been sitting there a while. I call 911 - the guy says you are calling about the deer yes I've taken several calls about this we will get someone out as soon as someone is available. Sounded pretty cavalier about it and this bothers me more so I call the PG Humane Society where a lady takes a message. A few minutes later a guy calls back and interrupts me by saying "this is a volunteer organization you will have to call Animal Control" - hangs up.
so, I call PG Animal control and the message states "if you have an animal related emergency press 1 now" so I do and get transferred to a busy signal. TWICE. So, the deer is just sitting there suffering and I have no idea if anyone will ever show up to put it out of its' misery or it it will just languish there for however many hours until it expires on its' own. That is just not right!
I sent a scathing e-mail to animal control this morning and so far no response. What is the real emergency animal injury number to call when this type of thing happens?
Why are PG police dispatchers crap? I have called numerous times over the years and always get the same response "we will send someone when someone becomes available" - oh at our end of PG county that is NEVER. I also see almost DAILY PG police breaking numerous traffic laws and what gets done about that? NOTHING. Makes me sick. I don't live in PG and am sorry that I have to drive in and work in it every day.
No animal or human should lay suffering while others look on and there be no help availalble. People wonder why we don't do anything about someone who is lying on the street stabbed and dying - well look at this - this is why and it just sucks.
right after this happened I am driving on the Beltway and a guy from ARKANSAS - tag AFHOG (fitting description) just THROWS TRASH RIGHT OUT OF HIS WINDOW. THANKS BUDDY - my faith in humanity is being sorely tested today for sure. I didn't even bother with this guy to report it - for what - nothing will be done.
the older I get the more I hate people. Arghhhh!
