In the rural areas of Lower Saxony, protecting the wild animals is an important concern, especially when it comes to the violation of fawns. This little hero story revolves around Rocky, a fawn that was allowed to come into the loving hands of Annett Jerke after a tragic incident.

the rescue of rocky

Rocky was brought to Annett Jerke, the chairman of Nabu Goslar, about five weeks ago. The animal, which was seriously injured in the event of a mowing process, had profound wounds on its hind legs. These injuries were treated veterinary immediately. Jerke took over the care of the little fawn, which now lives in her garden and sleeps in a children's running stable in the house at night.

The use of the fawn rescuers

The fawn cheat from Goslar are a volunteer group that has been active for seven years. They fly with drones over meadows and fields to protect fate from the devastating fate to be recorded by combine harvesters. This season, the rescuers were able to save around 220 fawns. The initiative is financed by donations and offers farmers their service free of charge.

The first recovery of rocky

The progress of Rocky are encouraging. He shows the first attempts and explores his surroundings curiously. Jerke reports that Rocky has developed a preference for the leaves of Waldderdberries, Spitzwegerich and Klee. The animal rights activists also receive special rearing milk from farmers. Physiotherapy is also used to support the recovery of the fawn.

the way back to freedom

The most important question that many moves is whether Rocky can be released into the wilderness after his recovery, despite the close contact with people. Jerke is optimistic: "Maybe he only had contact with three people, so the return to freedom will work."

importance of the fawn rescue

The problem that fawns are often violated by combine harvesters is closely linked to their natural behavior. They have a so-called "push reflex" and duck from dangers instead of fleeing. This makes them particularly susceptible to the mowing in the high season if the mother animals are often not nearby. It is all the more important to use volunteer rescuers like Jerke and their organization to help these animals in need of protection.
