Creator Transcript
  • Victoria, B.C. [British Columbia] June 26, 1939. Shortly after the fireworks display near the deer paddock on May 30 the old doe became ill, about June 10 she appeared partially paralyzed, the abdomen greatly distended, hair sloughing from the umbilical region. Upon killing her it was found that for some reason her foetus had died in utero + the result decomposition had resulted in a gangrenous condition. Birth was expected between June 15 and July 1. The young doe on June 12 gave birth to twin fawns a buck + doe. When discovered the fawns were lying some distance apart, the doe was licked clean but the young buck had not had that attention. The placenta had been eaten. The mother refused to own the [male symbol] fawn which subsequently died. It weighed 3 lbs [pounds]. The doe hides her fawn during the day + stays apart from it. At 5:15 this evening it was following her about + already eating grass.
