During a patrol, officers from the Police Station in Nowogrodziec noticed a doe whose behavior was a desperate cry for help. – It ran onto the road, stumbling over its own hooves, and repeatedly fell, unable to keep its balance – reports junior aspirant Bartłomiej Sobczyszyn from the District Police Headquarters in Bolesławiec.

It turned out that the animal had a canister stuck on its head. The spokesperson said: – The officers demonstrated composure and prudence, and their actions led to the animal being rescued without ultimately suffering any harm.

The officers said:

We got the impression that the doe was extremely pleased with the intervention, although we do not wish to meet under similar circumstances.

And they concluded:

This situation clearly illustrates the consequences that littering public places and roadside areas can have. Reckless actions led to a situation posing a direct threat to another living being’s life…

Once again, we appeal for common sense in the way we use our shared planet.
