A Mother Deer Protecting Her Fawn from a Cat and Dog

Many people fail to realize that these adorable creatures are deadly when it comes to survival. It goes from cute to deadly in seconds. I won't say much because the video speaks for itself.

***Warning Strong Graphic Content***



The force of a deer seems pretty strong.

WOW that dog got F'ed UP!

Good thing that cats are quick, or else it would of been Falcon-hoofed!

I feel bad for that dog, it didn't do anything...That I saw, the deer just went ballistic!

Great video!

My only thought is how mentally challenged some people are allowing their domesticated pets around wild animals.

The domestics rarely win.

I had a pretty good laugh when the by-stander (can animals be called that??) got pummeled. The dog did nothing to provoke the deer.

Where was this filmed? Couldn't the people filming get involved at all?

If that were my Cat or Dog I would have to do something.

What ever happened to leash laws?

And what responsible pet owner would let their pets around wild animals?

The cat was all over the fawn, but did nothing to hurt it. No doubt the doe smelled cat on it and found nothing alarming.

The dog, on the other hand, is a real threat to the fawn and got trampled enough to give it fair warning.

Great vid, btw.

It sure would be nice to see a video of a deer sneaking up and unleashing that same fury on the hunters who hunt them not for food but simply and ONLY for the thrill of the kill.

Most hunters spend a fortune on hunting accessories making the hunt literally like shooting fish in a barrel. Then these cowards boast for weeks on how wonderful a hunter they are when in reality if given JUST a rifle and ammunition ONLY, they couldn't hunt down a turtle with broken legs.

Too bad the video wasnt about the deer attacking a hunter. That would have been great.

that poor dog!

my fiancee saw the deer and said "mmm..dinner"

I guess that's what i get for being with a northern Idaho man

Whoa!!!!
Poor dog! I hope it's alright. That's intense!

Sorry forgot to post the web-site and what was written.

The dog eventually left limping—since posting here we have been able to contact the lady. THE DOG IS OKAY, but traumatized.

River, my deer-whispering cat, is fine—we'll see if he learned his lesson.

I am assuming that they are from Cranbrook?

From the Youtube notes:

A newborn fawn creates a dangerous situation when mom gets protective. Starts cute, ends scary.

We did call animal control, there was "nothing they could do" to prevent further trouble.

Yes, my being there filming contributed to the problem, stressing the doe. And yes, I feel bad about it.

My children live here. Kids walk to school every day. I'd feel a lot better if I knew none of them would ever dream to pet a fawn. I may not have helped this poor dog, I sure believe I might still get to help others.

This was not fun to witness at all—it was as horrifying as it was unexpected. I realize that for anyone who's never seen a deer in their garden, it was all too easy to predict, but if you live in Cranbrook you have deer in your garden 100 days a year, nothing bad ever happens, so you forget it's unnatural.

That's precisely why it is so important for me to share this video with the rest of my community.

A good reminder that any wild animal can be dangerous no matter how cute and docile they seem to be.

D'oh!!! A deer!!!

no poor dog, none of the animals knew what was happening, dammit, the poor dog, oh my god, it was looking at the deer like it was very sorry, kicked, probably crippled or dead now. Deer maim and kill hunters frequently. Very sad, dammit, I don't like to see things get hurt

I see the dog is alive that's good. That deer was not messing around though, total threat elimination mode. Imagine what a couple larger ones can do.. haha imagine what hundreds of animals can do, they each have their intrinsic fighting style.

not sure if it was solely for the thrill of the kill, but I'll bet this guy wasn't feeling too well afterwards.



might even have to wonder if he bought a license next season.

Lol that was a great laugh. I hope the gentleman is alright but you guys gotta admit though, that was a one way fight.

Even though he had the rifle, the buck punched him out.

jesus, i thought this video was fun to watch in the beginning, but i got a bit traumatized myself.
that was worse than these paranormal videos on youtube, where it say: "look closer..." and then a guy with an ugly mask pops up screaming.
to the op, please next time make a warning like:
"CONTAINS STRONG VIOLENCE! VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED"

My apologies. I didn't realize this video would have had a traumatizing impact on people. Fixed my OP.

So true, dogs and cats should not be allowed to wander, for their own safety.

Feel sorry for the dog, but mama deer was protecting her baby and perceived the dog as a potential threat.

Wow, does are formidable.

Holy *#*(! man poor dog !!!
He did nothing bad.. and he got beasted

I need to go hug my dog now.. lol!
