On the way to work today, I saw an article in the Metro, which initially made me smile.
It had a photograph of a handsome deer leaping over a street café table.
‘Havoc: A wild deer causes chaos in city centre as it flees storms. The 153kg (24st) animal hurt two people as it leapt over chairs and tables at cafes in Bolzano, northern Italy. It was cornered by police and hunters and shot.’
My smile faded.
This animal was simply frightened and patently not dangerous. Why kill it?
My low opinion of humanity sunk even further.
