At Iola’s Riverside Park, a young fawn who appeared to have been abandoned by its mother is currently recuperating after being discovered there. The animal is currently undergoing rehabilitation, and it will soon be transported to a facility in Udall that is dedicated to the rescue of deer.
The fawn was found by a local animal lover early on Wednesday morning. The individual who made the discovery requested that they stay unidentified. When the person was out walking their dog, they encountered the deer that was laying close to the scoreboard. This caused them to get anxious.
“I was out walking my dog, and we saw it lying there by the scoreboard,” the worried person added. “It was lying there.” I was at a loss for what to do, so I got in touch with the people who were in charge of the park. In addition, they were unaware of it.
Following the first finding, the local park officials were notified; however, they were uncertain about the appropriate actions to take from that point on. After some time had passed, wildlife specialists were brought in to evaluate the ongoing scenario. Although it is typical for mums to briefly leave their fawns while they go foraging, it was concluded that the fawn had most likely been abandoned. This could have been the case because the mother deer was unable to return to get it.
Careful handling was performed on the fawn before it was transported to a nearby rescue centre, where it is currently receiving the care and attention it requires in order to flourish. In the near future, it will be sent to a deer rescue facility in Udall, where it will continue to rehabilitate until it is in a state of health that allows it to be released back into the wild.
The fawn is safe for the time being, and the authorities are hoping that its story will raise awareness about how to handle situations that are similar in the future. They hope that it will encourage people to call out to the appropriate authorities rather of making hasty decisions when they come into contact with wildlife.
