Video of a Mother doe defending the lifeless body of her newborn fawn.
The fawn was accidentally killed by a farmer's hay cutter as it lay in a field.
This footage was shot over several hours as the Mother deer relentlessly protected her baby.
As I shot this I couldn't help but feel her anguish as she tried to protect that which she loved so dearly, her child.
We as human beings could learn a great deal from the actions of this one animal's determination and loyalty. If you have a heart you will find it here.

The mother deer evidently did not know its baby was fucking dead and is now food for the birds. She's running around like an idiot for nothing.
