Animal handlers were called to a report of a terrified deer running in circles in a field next door to a property in Wiltshire where fireworks were being let off.

The RSPCA has been called out more than 10,000 times to fireworks-related reports this year.

Some animal welfare campaigners have long called for access of fireworks to be restricted because of the negative impact on wildlife The call came in from an owner of some horses also in the field as they had gone to check on them fearing they would be frightened. ‘One of our animal carers, along with a vet, brought him into the centre and gave him pain relief, anti inflammatories and antibiotics for the wounds to his head and eyes.

About time we got rid of this selling of fireworks to the public, official displays only.

Ban the bloody things those poor animals including my two are petrified 🤡

I think it’s time the law was changed for general public purchasing fireworks.

This is awful, how will this poor deer survive in the wild without it's antlers if he makes it over the next few days and overcomes his injuries. Will he have to now be kept in captivity as he'll have no way to defend himself? This is why fireworks should be banned!

This has broken my heart
