A bizarre story surfaced in northern British Columbia Wednesday, allegedly involving a twisted case of animal cruelty.
According to the Dawson Creek Daily News, “a video depicting what appears to be a deer set on fire and dragged behind a car is being shown on a Dawson Creek social media site.”
Apparently, the RCMP and SPCA in Dawson Creek — a town which has sweet fuck all to do with the wildly popular television series — have been flooded with complaints about the video.
The man behind the Facebook video, who remains unidentified, is heard hamming it up as the carcass of a deer burns in the foreground. As the CBC reported:
“This is a deer I just hit on the highway. Drug [sic] it for a while. It’s on fire now. Yeah. Deer be warned,” says the narrator, laughing.
“Don’t f-k with me,” he says, laughing some more. “F-k, that deer’s burning good.”
Whoever our amateur filmmaker may be, he’s certainly got one fuck top sense of humour.
The wildest part about this story is that this is only the most recent incident of disturbing animal cruelty to hit the national news from my hometown. Last year, a cat was frozen into a block of ice and deposited on some poor fool’s front lawn in the local trailer park. A year prior to that incident, a dog had been found frozen in a similar block of ice just a few doors down.
Whether it’s a result of the wild economic ride the region has been on over the past few years, something funny in the water, or just plain coincidence, something is seriously fucked in ole Dawson Creek.
