Pennsylvania Man Wrestles Deer In Hair Salon
Do No Evil – A man said he had no choice but to fight after a deer crashed into a Quakertown, Pennsylvania, hair salon on Tuesday. The white-tailed buck, complete with 4-6 inch antlers, flailed and kicked around Holiday Hair until the owner was forced to put the animal in a headlock. After suffering a broken jaw and cuts to its back, the deer was subsequently put down.

Dad wrestles with deer after it crashes into salon
5 days ago

QUAKERTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A disoriented deer smashed his way into a suburban hair salon, and a customer wrestled with the animal to keep it from ramming into his 11-year-old son or other youngsters.

"I'm a father. I wasn't going to let anything happen to those kids," Randy Goepfert said after Tuesday's confrontation.

Three hairdressers and several parents and children were in the Holiday Hair salon at a strip mall in this Philadelphia suburb when the white-tail buck crashed through the glass door. Goepfert was paying for his son Tyler's haircut.

The deer "was charging right at my son, so I decked him," Goepfert said. He grabbed the buck by the neck and slammed it to the floor, then climbed on top and began choking it, hoping to keep the animal at bay until authorities arrived.

But the deer broke loose. Goepfert finally chased it into a back room and barricaded the door with chairs.

Police and a state Game Commission officer later tranquilized the deer, but it had a broken jaw and cuts on its neck and had to be euthanized, officials said.

Glen Campbell, a wildlife conservation officer, said the deer was likely frightened and disoriented.

"They have a very, very primeval flight response," Campbell said. "If they get scared, they don't think, they just try to get away."

Goepfert recalled that the deer kicked him several times and broke loose as they wrestled on the floor. "I weigh 225 pounds and he threw me right off," he said.

He didn't

The deer was "subsequently put down"

mdiver said:

my comment is before Threadbare's article.. nothing stated how the animal was put down

Flowerz said:

Exactly. The original article said what i posted. It was a jump to state "he didnt have to kill it" because at no point did the article say that.

The straight away that assumption is jumped on and the guy is branded as brutal and senseless

mdiver said:

So, you have never made a wrong assumption, Mdiver? WOW!
I am not psychic, how was I gonna know how the deer was put down w/o Threadbare's article?

mdiver said:

well yeah lol.. humans will always be the bad guys lol .. but i see now he was protecting his child .... developers just need to stop building so close to or on the animal's habitat ...

Flowerz said:

Damn straight, it is about time we realised that humans are not the only animals on this planet that have their own space yanno?

I don't think people realize just how dangerous a deer can be.

I was treating a fawn that had been hit by car and it kicked me in the palm of my hand. No joke, it almost smashed right through my hand - and this was a sick and injured baby.

Their hooves are freaking sharp, their kick is insanely strong, and add to that antlers that can do some serious, serious damage.

I can't imagine the panic and chaos when that thing came crashing through.

If you had read the first article you would have seen that HE did not kill it. It really is just a matter of reading before one brands a human as "brutal"

Was your hand swollen or cut?

Brownsugar said:

Both! I'm telling you, it was awful. Poor little thing though, it was just terrified.

ThreadBare said:

Totally true. We never took in adult deer - they are just too scared and freak out so bad. We only took in fawns.

mdiver said:

you know what it is.. i think sometimes we jump to conclusions with certain animals cause usually it's the animal that's the victim, but not in this case...

Flowerz said:

It is such a shame, they are such beautiful creatures but when they freak out they can do an amazing amount of damage
