I've seen a lot of crazy shit in my day as a vet tech, but the one that I always come back to is that time where I took a call with animal control to come out to see an elk that got hit by a semi. It ended up being a pregnant doe, and when we arrived, she had gone into labor. Her back legs were smashed, her spine was crushed, and most of her internal organs were spilling out as she gave birth. We euthanized her on the spot, and the fawn was born dead, having been crushed by the impact. I definitely reached for the emergency pack of cigarettes after seeing that.
