Cop Prevents Animal Rescue, Shoots, Threatens ArrestHeather Callaghan When other countries are emulating the exact same actions, thats a sorry sign. A few days ago in Chelsea, Quebec, Greg Searle was driving down a highway and witnessed a fawn hit by a vehicle. He carried it to the roadside. While unable or unwilling to walk with hind legs, there were no signs of injury except a couple of scratches, as you can see from the actual photo above. Searle checked to see if there might be internal injuries and called his wife, Samantha, who has experience with animals and helping with law enforcement she took her young daughter. His intent was to get rescuers since he could tell it would not soon die it could keep living with some attention. The actual driver who hit the fawn was also at the scene and helped make calls for animal help. It sounds like there were other bystanders at the scene. Thats when Officer Roy came to the rescue. He pulled up and without hesitation insisted it was his job to shoot the fawn. The whole Searle family and bystanders pleaded with him it might not be dying and pleaded to be able to take it for medical treatment. Greg had a rescue plan and offered to take care of all of it they had reached some veterinarian help. But to no avail Thats when Samantha got vocal and tried harder to reason while standing over the deer: Officer Roy was adamant repeatedly told her to move aside and repeated that it was his job. This is when he made repeated threats to arrest her, emphasizing that she would have a criminal record several times. The daughter began crying and hugging her fathers legs while Roy called in for backup. He told Samantha this was her final warning. Greg had Samantha take their daughter home so she wouldnt have to witness what happened next, which is where the photo leaves off. Greg has had to put animals out of misery, but couldnt understand the officers haste and inflexibility. Passing back over the scene a few minutes later, Officer Roy followed Greg and pulled over his pick-up truck that had been given to him recently by his father. The plates were one day expired. Greg offered to make other arrangements for driving but again to no avail. The officer confiscated the keys and impounded the truck, now still locked away. Metronews Canada reports: There are people in law enforcement who are called heroes for saving injured animals. You can see stories like that for a change on Real Men Are Kind to Animals. Wouldnt you think Internet heroism would encourage better behavior? A lot of them dont seem to mind being high-profileanimal killers.
