Getting hit in the face with something always hurts, but can you imagine being impaled by an arrow? Marlboro, NJ deer Grace certainly can imagine. This poor deer was shot by a bow-hunter who sorely missed and hit her in the face. Unable to call for help, Grace continued to live with that arrow lodged into her nose since November of 2014. Luckily, SHARK (Showing Animals Respect and Kindness) caught wind of her plight and set out to contact the regional Fish and Wildlife Service to inquire if they would help the animal.
SHARK learned that NJ Fish and Wildlife Services had attempted to tranquilize Grace in the past but failed and they were unable to make a second attempt because Grace was pregnant! Sadly, Grace would have to endure the pain of having the arrow in her snout until she safely birthed her little one.
The good new is, Grace gave birth in July and has been diligently caring for her baby through it all. There’s something to the resilience of animals!
Fish and Wildlife Services have promised that they will try to remove the arrow from Grace’s nose again in early September of this year.
UPDATE 9/4/2014: NJ Fish and Wildlife Services successfully removed the arrow from Grace’s snout on Tuesday, September 2nd.
