“Now the mighty have fallen, would'nt it be a good idea to fully investigate this organisation.............i suggest they start at the misty unit. Long overdue!”

“WELL FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD IT SEEMS TO ME YOU GOOD PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO GET AN APOLOGY FROM NORTH DEVON ANIMAL AMULANCE! I SUGGEST THAT YOU ALL DONT CALL ON HER SERVICES.THERE ARE OTHER CARING ANIMAL SERVICES SUCH AS CATS PROTECTION,RSPCA AND SPRA! I SHALL NOT BE HUNTING FOR BARGAINS IN THE NDAA IN BARNSTAPLE AGAIN,I CAN NOT SUPPORT WHAT THIS WOMAN DOES!IN THE FUTURE I WILL SPEND MY MONEY IN THE SPRA AROUND THE CORNER! STAND DOWN MS LEWIS BEFORE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN PLEASE!”

“Hello Tracey

I read about bambi in the papers, and just wanted to say I am sorry for your, and your family's loss. It was a real shame. I hope you willl be alright.

Take care

With best wishes to you and your family

David”

“Well said from torrington- there are many other people who have also dedicated their lives to animals who arn't always looking for their next chance of an appearance in the news.
There are still so many unanswered questions. i know for a fact that a dart gun was available at the end of a phone call. Definately within the '5 hours' they said they were there for.
There is also a photo on the BBC news website of Bambi that morning. she certainly looks like her relaxed self.
Why did Ms Lewis not contact Johnny Kingdon? he knows more about deer than possibly anyone in the area!and they have previously worked together.
There is also not a single word of apology anywhere to be seen. Surely the least that can be done. A hands up apology that she unfortunately didn't make the right decisions?”

“There are LOTS of people dedicated to helping out animals, not all of them clamouring to get into the papers at every given opportunity. Many smaller animal charities and organisations have been forced to take a back seat while Mrs lewis as stolen everyone elses thunder. There are brilliant charities out there who would never in a million years have shot Bambi.
Diana Lewis isn't the only person out there when it comes to helping neglected, injured or lost animals. Please bare this in mind people!”

“no one is saying that diana has never done any good before but alot of people feel that the actions taken in this event in in some others were not needed and that she should think before she does things. once the gun has gone off it is to late to try anything else. it is just so frustrating to know that this beautiful animal has lost her life because of people who are ment to save lives not take them away. yes it would of been trajic if the bambi had got on to the road but there are hundreds od deer around there is just as great a chance that they would get on to the road does that mean you should shoot all of them to to reduce the risk factor? surely not!”

“it isnt a hunt if you know who the witch is!!!”

“Well Derek, You seem to be the only one to speak up for Ms Lewis. As someone who was involved with the shooting of a yearling steer near the duel carriageway a few years ago, I can say with some experience that when our heroic constabulary get involved it is shoot first and ask questions afterwards, as was in my case. A so-called marksman was flown from Exeter and once commited, nothing would stop it. Even some advice from local farmers was ignored, like letting it in a field with other cattle nearby. But as in the case of Bambi, loads of police in reflective jackets jumping up and down, blue lights flashing, there is no chance of not frightening any animal. Ms Lewis should have shown some common sense and not harrassed Bambi for five hours, This is the sort of cruelty that she was always in the news fighting against. She should come out into the open and hold her hands up and admit that she got it wrong, Prehaps then she could salvage just a little of the respect that she has certainly lost.”

“This is turning into a witch hunt against a lady whom has dedicated her life to the care of animals.
Maybe an over-reaction in this case but don't get personal.
You are all very wrapped up in this one case about a WILD deer. Again I ask, would Mrs Stentiford have claimed ownership and responsibility for any damage to gardens or, in a not too unrealistic scenario claimed to be the owner of Bambi if she had got onto the road and caused a major accident?
I think not.
Get over it.
Before the childish comments come in. I am Derek Gaulinner, I live in Barnstaple and I don't know any of those involved in the termination of Bambi personally. It's an opinion, as this is an open forum.”

“Why was it a battle if you could walk right up to it and approach it(Diana Lewis's words) no danger of it going onto road only if spooked by said person.Please never call her again only maybe to cuddle a kitten for photo shoot”
