Minnesota Officer Stuns Entangled Deer with Taser To Save It [VIDEO]

Minnesota Officer Stuns Entangled Deer with Taser To Save ItThis was probably the safest way to untangle the whitetail buck that was locked up with a buck that was already dead. Here’s what the YouTube video caption says: South Lake Minnetonka Officers received a call for two deer with their antlers stuck together. Unfortunately, one of the deer had already died when officers arrived. The live deer was violently jumping and thrashing in an attempt to free itself, and it was evident that it had been for a significant amount of time. Officers weighed multiple options, considering available resources, the safety of themselves and residents and the live deer itself. Officers employed the use of a Taser to temporarily incapacitate the deer and, with the help of a nearby resident, quickly cut an antler, freeing it. The deer then ran off.

The buck is trying to untangle itself from the dead one.
