I guess it all hinges on what you call civilized. The English are known for very civilized cream teas, excellent manners and other sort of stuffy well bred things. But I was specifically just commenting that they seem to have more regard for deer as a vital part of the English landscape than we do in America. It is getting harder and harder to hunt there; the animal rights movement is considerably more powerful and more active than it is in America. Look at this sweet story about a pregnant English deer: Pregnant deer rescued by police A pregnant deer which was found injured on a Northumberland road has been rescued by police officers. Sgt Rashid Hussain and Pc Charles Storey were called to the B6309 road in New Ridley, Hexham, early on Sunday to help the deer. The animal collapsed as the officers approached. There was blood on its rear as if it had been hit by a vehicle. It was taken to an animal sanctuary and treated before being released close to where it was found to give birth. The quick-thinking Northumbria Police officers contacted the North Farm Animal Sanctuary in Throckley to take in the deer after no vets were available. A police spokesman said the deer allowed Pc Storey to stroke and reassure it before lifting the animal into the van and taking it to the sanctuary. Although the deer was not seriously injured it was on the brink of giving birth and was released on Tuesday to give birth in its natural habitat. news.bbc.co.uk
