Man Saves Multiple Deer Stranded On Frozen Lake in Ontario
A man from Ontario, Canada, managed to save three deer stranded on a frozen lake after coming across them while out skating on his lunch break on December 3.
The uploader, who prefers to be called RP, told Storyful he knew it was a race against time to rescue the deer from the lake. “I went back to work and grabbed some rope. The ice was still too thin for any kind of vehicle, so skating was the only option,” RP said.
After managing to tie the rope around each of the animals, RP dragged the deer to the edge of the ice, where they were able to regain their footing and safely stand.
“The two younger ones took off running right away, but the doe stuck around with what seemed like an injured hip or leg,” RP said. He called the Ontario Natural Resources Ministry but was told that since the lake was not entirely frozen, it would not be safe for anyone to immediately visit the scene to further assess the situation.

Knowing deer, I would not be surprised if they just walked right back out on the ice.

Knowing me, i would not be surprised if i eat that deer instead.
Cause it was so fun
I love how he did all that without even actually touching any of them. And the last two that got pulled together, cracked me up how the very last deer was chilling the whole time. Even when his friend was panicking a little. "Yeah. Ok. Im just being pulled along the ice. I was stuck before, but wasn't very bothered. And still wasn't bothered when this weird looking deer put something around our necks and pulled us of the frozen lake."
Woman 😂
One does not want to risk getting whatever gnarly disease they might have. One bite, enough to break skin, can be really nasty and, in some rare cases, life changing/ending
"this weird looking deer" hahaha

Good to see people caring for wildlife
Great job. I can't understand anyone NOT helping these poor deer, in these types of situations?!
I love to see a compassionate, noble human being rescuing animals is need. The 'deer chain' with two of the deer speeding along was almost quite comical because they didn't seem to mind one bit. In fact they all seemed to quickly understand they were being saved. Very beautiful to see, thank you 💖🦌
Now if we could only help our American homeless the same way
Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross. By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift.
They likely might've been exhausted from expending so much energy while struggling on the ice for who knows how long before the guy got to them
@@dove3853 And for what reason did you think we needed a sermon that gave no thanks to a selfless obvious sinner in your mind, that took it upon himself to save a herd of deer from a very possible death by freezing on the frozen lake. Have you ever thought about the fact that not all humans are sinners. Even without the fear of a God to keep them decent . Just a sense of built in decency and caring for others besides himself. Some people do good things, not because they're God fearing. But just because they're good people. And on the opposite side, many people who are complete jerks, say they're so religious. Doesn't that put a crimp in your preaching just a bit?

Topsoil Depletion Awareness (closing the loop) that’s not true
Topsoil Depletion Awareness (closing the loop) You can’t save what’s already dead. If you choose to not eat it, someone else will or if not people then other animals. The world doesn’t work like that unfortunately.
Was so satisfying to give you the 1000th like and see it turn from 999 to 1k. I had never been given that opportunity on KZhead. I've just woken up too. Today is gonna be a good day. I can feel it in my bones
The fact that they're just sitting there staring at him whe hes trying to save their lives is oddly hilarious
They're exhausted
And most times humans are trying to hurt them, never save them.
I assume, like the other responders, it’s because they’re tired and/or scared. But I like to project human behavior onto them for my own amusement. Human: “Oh my gosh! You’re gonna freeze to death out here!” Deer: “Sup.”
their legs are frozen
Penelope Collett I save them
May God Bless him for his act of kindness, which almost certainly saved their lives!
Who is this one man wonder, who is so compassionate? What a hard worker to save so many! Thankyou to him for being the best kind of person ❤

@@NoName-rv1fc but right before hunting season people put out scrap foods for them to eat so they will get fatter and there'll be more meat. Those 2 weren't even close to the size if want them if I were going to hunt them
@@joshlanier8567 The little deer are more tender, although they don't have as much meat. Plus they are much easier to butcher. Most people want big bucks but honestly I'm happy getting smaller deer.
Myself Can i ask you a question? Why do you hunt? It’s not like there is a shortage of meat. In fact there is a surplus. So where is the need to hunt? Do you do it for sport? If so what enjoyment do you derive from taking another creatures life? Does it not concern you at all that you are enjoying killing something unnecessarily? I’m not trying to be patronising, and i’m not a vegan. I just don’t understand why anyone would hunt.

They are too exhausted to do anything else probably.
It looks fun 😂
Animals aren't stupid. MisterFuturtastic is probably right, that they're also probably so chilled and exhausted that they don't have a lot of excess energy. But, just because they don't have the same kind of brain we do, doesn't mean it doesn't perform MOST of the same functions. Once he had effectively grappled them and had them within his control, if he was an animal that meant to harm them he would have. Once he doesn't, and once they realize they are being pulled towards a safer area -yea, of course they're on board with it, haha XD. They're just like "Oh. Not predator. Also free ride to safety. Whee!" lol

Actually it is pretty funny. The way the deer were struggling and their legs were slipping and sliding out sideways from under them -- it was so ungainly and awkward and undignified! (We can laugh about it because nobody was hurt and they were saved and everything turned out all right in the end.)
