WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A pair of deer interrupted the lunchtime rush Friday at a McDonald's restaurant in Washington when they smashed through a plate glass window and pranced around the store, a fire official said. Four women suffered minor injuries -- including abrasions to the head -- as they tried to get out of the animals' way, fire department spokesman Alan Etter told CNN. The women were taken to a hospital. One of them complained of chest pains. Etter said the deer jumped through a 4- by 6-foot window about 11 a.m. and walked through the dining area and the kitchen. One of the deer jumped back through the window and escaped. Etter said he saw the animal running nearby about an hour later. The second deer suffered severe cuts, so animal control workers tranquilized it and took it away to try to treat its wounds, Etter said. He said he did not know how seriously the deer was hurt. Etter said the injured deer appeared to be an adult. He said he did not know anything about the other deer. He said he did not know what caused the deer to jump through the window.

I saw that on the news Larry. They had footage of the broken window, and apparently the uninjured deer had jumped back out of the window. I guess that is the deer they filmed, was running through thick weeds and trying to get through this chain link fence. It looked very wild eyed, don't know why, maybe the other deer (the injured one) was its mate. Why they jumped through that window though is beyond me, bizarre!

I like to imagine that this is a gesture of protest from Nature at man's intrusion and exploitation.

I dunno, that one deer seemed really freaked out, not normal at all, something seemed wrong about it. But I could be wrong, maybe it's just mating season and the female got chased to the point that it ran into the window?

I wonder if we humans used to behave that way in the distant past?
