Quote:
This tiny deer was delivered by Caesarean section at a wildlife hospital after his mother was killed by a car.


"Rupert" is 5 days old in these pics.

Quote:
At just six inches tall and weighing just over a pound, he is now in an incubator in the intensive care unit at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire. He has only recently opened his eyes.
Les Stocker, founder of Tiggywinkles, said: Rupert's mother had very severe injuries. We brought him out and got him breathing and then he went into an incubator on oxygen. He is now being fed by a tube.
Question #1 - Why take a roadkill deer to Tiggywinkles?
Answer # 1 - Because The Brit didn't have a gun to shoot it.

Question #2 - Why C-section the dead deer?
Answer #2 - Because anyone that would name a vet's office Tiggywinkles is nuts.

Let's eat.

Aww - cute! However, since he's weighing in at just over a pound we should wait until he's put on some more meat before we have a feast. Doesn't hurt being prepared though, so I'll go look for a recipe...

Hang on there, Hoss. That there looks like a muntjac, which is like some kind of a scary saber-tooth vampire deer. They were introduced to Britain, where they're doing very well, thank you.

Makes me think of pina coladas. Which is a great cocktail to enjoy after feasting on braised veniveal.

That deer would fit nicely into the body cavity of a duck, which fits in a goose, which fits in a turkey, all of which would have fit in that mama deer if they were not so wasteful.

Awww, that is sooooo cute.


I suggest sashimi. Get the most of the tenderness.

Tiggywinkles .... haggis.

Tiggywinkles was set up specifically to address the problem of hedgehogs suffering injury on the roads ...

Oh my. That is just the cutest little thing! I think at that tender age, with a nice rosemary-sage marinade, you wouldn't have to worry about bitter deer face at all.

Kinda changes the meaning of "Aaawww...he's so cute I just wanna eat him up!" With a can of fava beans and a nice chianti.

Hmmm, I'm thinking braised in a nice burgandy reduction sauce with mushrooms, served with wild rice pilaf with pinenuts and steamed asparagus spears.

A burgundy might overwhelm that delicate young meat...

My friend's meat was overwhelmed with Burgandy, you insensitive carnivore!
