Rescue 911 - Episode 305 - "Freeway the Fawn"

When a pregnant deer is fatally injured after being hit by a car, good samaritans try to save the fawn. This segment was taken from Episode 305 which aired on October 15, 1991 on CBS. This particular version of the segment was taken from a 30-minute syndicated episode, so small parts of it may have been cut out to make room for commercials.

This is a very touching story. With the mother dying and the child surviving, it sort of coincides with the analogy of the death and rebirth of the mythological phoenix. Also, it reminds me of this quote from the movie "Bambi 2": "Everything in the forest has its season. Where one thing falls, another grows." :)

I give a gracious thanks to you, allgood2000, for posting this video. :)

I remember when I was 14. My mother and I were returning home from a halloween party at a family friend's house. On the way, a deer ran across the road and we smacked into it. The front part of the car was smashed. Luckily, my mom and I weren't hurt. But let me tell you, sometimes that evening scares me shitless.

EMERGENCY! bambi has been hit, i repeat bambi has been hit!

[vicky271fxz]

animals most of the time get put down cause they do not have as good survival rate as humans

we're fairly big compared with most animal so most animals would bleed to death sooner or not have enough body tissue to repair the damage so they are just put down

bu freeway babe has to be the most sweetest story i have ever heard of plus its something you wouldn't normally see on emergency 911

[jaffacake1578]

[jaffacake1578]

[Sk8erChicksRule]
