Port Jefferson Station, New York-On Wednesday, a Long Island doe found herself between a rock and a hard place, a bit like.

The animal was trapped between the concrete wall and the PVC fence behind a house in Port Jefferson Station for 18 hours, but was taken back to safety by a group of animal rescuers and Suffolk County police.

At about 12:20 in the afternoon, the police officer of the Sixth Precinct received a call from a homeowner on Huron Street. He had been crying the night before and did not know what it was.

When the animal rescuer Frankie Floridia arrived, he was told that the animal had been at the scene since about 7:30 or 8:30 the night before.

"When I got there, I noticed that there were two fences and a three-foot-high berm. They were very close," he said, adding that the deer must have tried to jump over the fence and fell in. middle. The doe can bend, but stands upside down and cannot stand up, so she is "trapped between the two fences on her back."

There are more dilemmas.

The homeowner who had just installed the PVC fence wanted to know if the team could remove the deer from the other side of the fence so as not to damage the new deer. But Floridia said that this requires raising the deer by three feet. “If you don’t hurt her further, it’s almost impossible.”

There was no way to take the animals out, so he reached an agreement with the homeowner that if he was allowed to see part of the fence, the animal rescue organization would pay for any losses.

The deal was reached after an honest handshake, Floridia called Erica Kutzing to help rescue.

Floridia chopped down a small part of the fence, which caused everyone-including the officer-to start pulling apart the slats and eventually freeing her.

He said that once free, the doe "extremely shakes her legs" after being hung upside down for a few hours. Floridia and Kutzing took her to the front yard, where they gave her 20 minutes to restore blood circulation to her legs. . .

The homeowner and officials then moved their vehicles to let the doe space take off, and a few minutes later she left the block where there was a quiet puddle.

"She is absolutely fine," Floridia said.

Floridia said his team was “fortunate to be able to work with some of the most caring Long Island residents and police in the world.”

"We are honored to be able to help and protect the safety of animals and humans within our capacity," he said.
