Wild baby fawn saved from certain and brutal death

Summary edit

Description
English: Every year in Switzerland between May and July, hundreds if not thousands of fawns are horribly mutilated or killed by farm machinery. Female roe deer give birth to fawns in tall grass used for farming. When an agricultural machine approaches, the fawn (undetectable by the farmer) does not have the reflex to leave, remains on the spot and meets a certain death or is severely crippled. The foundation Sauvetage Faons Vaud calls on volunteers who use drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras to fly over agricultural plots early in the morning (between 4am and 8am) in order to detect the presence of fawns and place them under a wooden crate until the farmer has finished mowing. This baby fawn, probably between one and three days old, would have met a certain death if it had not been rescued. This photograph was taken once the crate had been removed after the field had been mown. The young animal's mother waited on the edge of the forest for the farm machinery to finish before returning back to nurse her baby.
Français : Chaque année en Suisse de mai à juillet, des centaines si ce n’est des milliers de faons (en moyenne environ 1500 par an) sont atrocement mutilés ou tués par des machines agricoles. Les chevrettes (femelle du chevreuil) accouchent de faons dans des hautes herbes utilisées par l’agriculture. Lorsqu’une machine agricole approche, le faon (non détectable par le paysan) n’a pas le réflexe de partir, reste sur place et connait une mort certaine ou est sévèrement estropié. La fondation Sauvetage Faons Vaud fait appel à des bénévoles qui utilisent des drones munis de caméras thermiques afin de survoler les parcelles agricoles tôt le matin (entre 4h et 8h) en vue de détecter la présence de faons et les placer à l’abri sous un cageot en bois jusqu’à ce que le paysan ait fini de faucher. Ce bébé faon vraisemblablement âgé d’un à trois jours aurait connu une mort certaine s’il n’avait pas été secouru. Cette photographie a été réalisée une fois le cageot retiré après que le parcelle ait été fauchée. La mère du jeune animal a attendu en lisière de forêt que l’engin agricole ait fini avant de venir allaiter son petit.
Deutsch: Jedes Jahr zwischen Mai und Juli werden in der Schweiz Hunderte, wenn nicht Tausende von Rehkitzen durch landwirtschaftliche Maschinen grausam verstümmelt oder getötet. Rehkitze (weibliches Reh) gebären ihre Kitze im hohen Gras, das von der Landwirtschaft genutzt wird. Wenn sich eine landwirtschaftliche Maschine nähert, hat das Rehkitz (das vom Bauern nicht entdeckt werden kann) nicht den Reflex, wegzulaufen, sondern bleibt an Ort und Stelle und stirbt oder wird schwer verkrüppelt. Die Stiftung Sauvetage Faons Vaud setzt Freiwillige ein, die Drohnen mit Wärmebildkameras verwenden, um frühmorgens (zwischen 4 und 8 Uhr) über landwirtschaftliche Parzellen zu fliegen, um die Anwesenheit von Rehkitzen zu erkennen und sie unter einer Holzkiste in Sicherheit zu bringen, bis der Bauer mit dem Mähen fertig ist. Dieses vermutlich ein bis drei Tage alte Babykitz wäre ohne die Rettung sicher gestorben. Das Foto entstand, als die Kiste nach dem Mähen der Parzelle entfernt wurde. Die Mutter des Jungtiers wartete am Waldrand, bis das landwirtschaftliche Gerät fertig war, bevor sie ihr Junges säugte.
Italiano: Ogni anno in Svizzera, tra maggio e luglio, centinaia, se non migliaia, di cerbiatti vengono orribilmente mutilati o uccisi dai macchinari agricoli. Le femmine di capriolo partoriscono i cerbiatti nell'erba alta utilizzata per l'agricoltura. Quando si avvicina una macchina agricola, il cerbiatto (non individuabile dall'agricoltore) non ha il riflesso di allontanarsi, rimane sul posto e va incontro a morte certa o viene gravemente storpiato. La fondazione Sauvetage Faons Vaud fa appello a volontari che, con droni dotati di termocamere, sorvolano gli appezzamenti agricoli al mattino presto (tra le 4 e le 8) per rilevare la presenza di cerbiatti e metterli sotto una cassa di legno finché l'agricoltore non ha finito di falciare. Questo piccolo cerbiatto, di età probabilmente compresa tra uno e tre giorni, sarebbe morto di morte certa se non fosse stato salvato. Questa fotografia è stata scattata una volta rimossa la cassa dopo che il campo era stato falciato. La madre del piccolo ha aspettato ai margini del bosco che i macchinari agricoli finissero prima di allattare i suoi piccoli.
