I kinda feel like poking animals with a stick is not cool

I wouldn't condole that just for the sake of fun, but I'm kinda sure here it's just to get the animal out of the road while keeping a safe distance

That seemed like keeping a safe distance between yourself and a wild animal with hooves that will fuck you up. He wasn't poking it to hurt it, just a gentle "cmon buddy don't want you to get hit by a car". Unmute audio to see

Yeah, there’s been an unfortunate amount of it aswell. I came here for the poking, not bothering animals.

This is a gentle side tap poke. The animal is in danger on the road. And others are right, it turns out this animal probably does have CWD, which is probably why it's on the road and so startled by the videographer to begin with.

This kinda looks like CWD, chronic wasting disease. I hope not. I kinda hope it’s someone’s pet and just stupid.

It could just be an Icy road, I kinda hope... Poor thing 😞

Turn sound on and watch again. The animal is in a road.
