It’s unbelievable that human beings still, in this day and age, behave in this frenzied way over the pursuit and murder of another animal. They are savages and should be treated as such. I can only hope their miserable lives are short and filled with fear and pain. Not one of them are worthy of the ground they stand and the air they breathe.

Sabs, so brave, it really is a war! How heart breaking for you to witness so much after all your brilliant efforts. It must be so hard sometimes to keep going but please, please do. Easy for me to say as I can't join you but every bone in my body shakes at these disgusting excuse for humans.

Actually cried reading this article. How much more harrowing must it have been for the stag himself and these noble, brave sabs who valiantly fought to try to save the beautiful stag’s life. My heart goes out to the many sabs who tried to help, being assaulted and attacked for their efforts, yet still continuing to do all they could to courageously defend the stag from these disgusting, hateful, cruel sociopaths.

It was a heartbreaking article, but I am still very grateful to you for posting it, so that we can try to highlight this illegal practice, write to our MP’s and feel even more emboldened to continue campaigning until this brutal practice is finally stopped.

RIP magnificent stag. 🦌

Bless you too Cara. ♥️ I understand how empathetic and caring you are, and sometimes these posts can be too harrowing to read in full and I really get that. Most of the time I can only read the headline, and feel too upset to read the article. It’s overwhelming and painful, stays with me for a very long time, as I know it will for you too. Reading the details can’t help the animals, but caring, subscribing, connecting and consoling with us all here is what is making all the difference and that is what you are doing in abundance, which is the most valuable and important. I appreciate your kindness and empathy so much. 🙏🏻

Thank you, Larraine. I’m so appreciative of you reaching out.🙏🏻 It feels masochistic bearing witness to these horrific events, but being here is really helping Protect The Wild make a difference and bring about change.

Yes, I thought the same, I took a double take that she was female - what a ghastly looking thing, there is definitely no beauty there inside or out.

Looks like "she" used to be "he".

Words fail me and I can only echo every word written by other posts. What the f#ck is wrong with these people. May they rot in hell. What I do know is the when (not if) this barbarity is consigned to the history books all right minded people will rejoice. In the meantime, please donate to our wonderful sab groups and continue to protest in any way you can💪

I voted Labour to stop this barbarism. I’d like to see some action please!

Cruelty to animals is offensive to almost everyone. What is wrong with these people who obviously get some thrill out of causing immense and prolonged suffering. There's no morality.

Them "FUCKING BASTARD" lumps of shit, hunters, I hope they die of a "DEADLY DECEASE", the "FUCKING SCUM " OH how I would like to "KILL EVERYONE OF THEM", "I HATE THEM WITH A VENOM", they are "COWARDS" "COWARDS" COWARDS", they would not "FIGHT" for our country, because they are "COWARDS", I am "SPITTING BLOOD" while writing this, "FUCKING C****", the thought of that "STAG" fighting for it's life, "CHOKES ME UP", the "LABOUR PARTY" needs to "GET THERE FINGER OUT" "NOW" and do some "FUCKING THING", the "SABS and MONITORS", what they go through, they are "DIAMONDS", they can sleep "SOUNDLY IN THERE BEDS", they do there best to "SAVE OUR WILDLIFE", I would love to put "ALL HUNTERS" in one big field and "BOMB THE TRASH SCUM", "NO, I AM NOT JOKING".

I couldn't have said it better!! Under the dreadful circumstances I think that you showed great restraint LOL.

Just glad that your message wasn't 'declined' as many of mine are. THANK YOU 😊

Like Helen, earlier, I was reading this piece through tears. You wonderful people are heroes in tackling the repulsive, salivating filthy psychopaths whose bloodlust appears to know no bounds. If only it wasn't illegal to shoot the sadistic bastards.....If only this government (were we conned into voting for them?) would start to fulfill their promises and put a stop to it. I'd give them at least two full days in the stocks followed by whatever sentence a court made up of sabs deems fit.

Wouldn't full natural life in the stocks be better? Then all of the groups and people who care about these magnificent animals can pop by daily and get their "pleasure" from pelting them with anything they choose 😀

I cannot understand why these idiots enjoy tormenting and murdering a stag that is handsome beyond measure.

Utterly sickening behaviour. When I look at that vile woman I see the face of evil, I would love to see her head on a spike. Yet again the brave sabs take harassment in their stride.

I am afraid I just couldn't read this. It is sick, absolutely sick and heartbreaking more than words can say 😿💔😾😡🤬🤬🤬 (there are nowhere near strong enough words or emojis that can describe this and how I feel about this!!!!). RIP that poor, poor stag. I am so so sorry for what those evil barbarians did to you 🦌❤️😿💔. Thank you sabs from the bottom of my heart for all that you tried to do to help save him and others 💖. I just wish I could have a wild sanctuary where all the wildlife could come and be safe from those absolute (swearwords) 🤬🤬🤬🤬!!!!

And those arrogant, wealthy (more money than sense) 'posh' folk on horseback think we animal lovers and protectors are the weird and gormless ones. Any human being that can salivate and get over excited at the gruesome and cruel death of an animal is an evil psychopath that ought to have their hard drives closely looked at. What else are they getting off on?

There really are no words :( The sabs are heroes ... your bravery and dedication are something to be admired and praised.
