Seriously? A Deer and a Hammock?!

Let’s just take a moment, shall we, to collectively sigh at the sheer absurdity of modern life. Apparently, our police force now has “deer rescue” added to their ever-expanding list of responsibilities. Because, you know, stopping actual crime is so last year. Now its all about freeing Bambi from the clutches of… a hammock? A rope hammock! Seriously people, are we incapable of basic outdoor etiquette anymore?

I picture the scene: some well-meaning, yet profoundly irresponsible individual leaves their leisure apparatus dangling unattended, likely while they swan off to Instagram a sunrise. And what happens? Nature, in its infinite wisdom, decides to play with it. A deer – a deer – gets tangled and needs our brave protectors to intervene.

Im not saying the deer wasn’t distressed. Im just questioning why we need law enforcement involved in resolving a situation entirely preventable by, you know, putting your stuff away! It’s like needing firefighters to extract a cat from a tree – a constant reminder of our collective inability to act responsibly.

Next thing you know, they’ll be rescuing squirrels from bird feeders and owls from Christmas lights. Just fantastic. I fully expect to see Deer Hammock Entanglement Prevention Specialist listed as a new job title soon. Wonderful.
