Carry on, Carrion
This may sound silly, but deer are dangerous animals.
I am writing this because I spend a significant time on the road, and have noticed as of late a significant number of deer carcasses on the interstate.
I have been looking up statistics, and am not yet able to find Indiana keeping records for this.
But here’s what’s going on in Kansas:
In 2004, a total of 9,950 accidents were recorded involving deer, resulting in 4 fatalities, and over 360 injuries.
Almost 10,000 accidents in one state in one year! I’d like to see that against statistics for Rattlesnake bites, dog attacks, cat scratches, wombat skirmishes, random squirrel encounters, and goldfish nibbles.
I’d say that was one dangerous animal.
On the other side of that argument, the state of Kansas seems like a pretty dangerous place to be a deer.
