Two nights ago on the way home, on a back road, I passed two police cars which were over on the side of the road. The first thing I saw was the one officer with a rifle. The second thing I saw was a deer lying on the ground behind the car. Then I heard the shot. From what I could tell, a deer had probably been hit by a car and was not able to live a happy life, so the cops were called in to put it out of its misery.
