Especially since she wanted to keep running with a broken clavicle and a concussion!
I think her dad was right to carry her the rest of the way!
The deer population in Michigan is just insane---there isn't a week goes by but what I see at least five or six of them lying dead in roadside ditches. I was talking to an anti-hunter, one of those people who just abhors the idea of a wild animal being shot. I mentioned that we have too many deer in the state right now; they're becoming diseased because there isn't enough forage for all of them, and come winter, a lot of them are going to starve to death, so it's really cruel, in a way, to tighten up on hunting them.
Didn't convince her, though. She said, "There's got to be another way of controlling the deer population without hunting and killing the poor things!" And I said, "Well, yeah, there is a way---we could re-introduce large packs of Canadian timber wolves to run them down and eat them. Since we killed all the wolves off a hundred years or so ago, deer have no natural predators any more, outside of man." She looked horrified and said, "But wolves would eat more than just deer!!! They'd carry off cattle, sheep, pets, even children!!!" And I shrugged and said, "Well, which would you rather have? It's not like you can call Planned Parenthood and sign all the deer up for birth control!"
