Car knocks down rare deer
When I read this article this afternoon, I was deeply saddened by the news. A rare sambar deer, once thought to be extinct, became roadkill yesterday when it was hit by a car at dawn on the Seletar Expressway (SLE). The sambar deer's right antler was dislodged and it had a deep gash near its hip, its right hind leg.
Malaysian tourist Chong Chiew Pin was driving a friend to the airport when he thought he saw something 'floating' just ahead of him in the dark. It was too late when he realised it was a deer that had come out of the undergrowth along Mandai Road. Now, for some information on the sambar deer.......
The sambar deer, like the one killed on Seletar Expressway are rare in Singapore, with zoologists estimating there are fewer than 20 in the wild. As an animal-lover, I send my condolences to the deer. Why oh why did that deer just run out of the undergrowth, if it did not come out, the magnificent deer's fate wouldn't be sealed on that fateful day. But on the bright side, now we know that it is still not extinct, so we can go and protect it from extinction.
