Of course, that's not what anti-hunters are getting at. They think that, in the throes of death, a deer is saying to itself, "Oh my, the pain. What have I done to deserve this? What will my children do? Who is this who torments me so?"

I can't speak for anyone else, but I expect that the deer is thinking "ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow gotta hide ow ow ow ow ow". Not especially abstract thought, but it's enough for me to not want to cause it.
