Injured Animal A BYU Police officer responded to multiple reports of a distressed deer with an apparent head injury, supported by photos from concerned callers. Recognizing the same deer repeatedly reported over several weeks, the officer located the animal on the west side of the West View Building. The deer was lying down and unusually approachable. Upon inspection, the officer observed severe injuries: missing an eye, broken and hanging antlers, and numerous lesions exposing the cranial cavity filled with maggots and parasites. The deer was clearly suffering, and with approval from the patrol sergeant and the Division of Wildlife Resources, the officer euthanized the animal to end its pain.
