Animal rescuers raced to free a deer from an electric fence before it suffered a heart attack.

A fallow buck had trapped its antlers on an electric hope fence in Duddleswell, East Sussex and was frantically trying to free itself.

The landowner called volunteers from the East Sussex Wildlife Rescue and Ambulance Service who managed to catch the panicking deer.

They then managed to release the animal in 10 minutes before the stress brought on a heart attack.

Trevor Weeks MBE, the founder and operations director of East Sussex WRAS, said: “These rescues are very dangerous. An antler hitting you in the face or a leg kicking you in the chest could cause you serious injuries or potentially be life threatening.

“Rescuer Kathy Martyn and I used a walk-towards net to catch and secure the deer.

“That allowed me to climb onto the deer’s back and pin it to the floor.

“Kai Ahmed then took control of the deer’s head, allowing Kathy and the fourth rescuer Daryl Farmer to cut away the electric rope.
