No. Animals have no soul, no emotional feeling. They do not know sadness, they do not know joy. I know w/out question that some of you are going to argue that, and that's ok. I've seen animals show excitement, but they are incapable of true emotion, as we have. That's what makes humans special. Humans and animals were both created by God, but only humans have body AND soul.

That yearling "watching me drag her off" have absolutely NO idea. It's not like they hold memorial services, and mourn the "loss" of the doe. Animals have survival instinct, a will to live. I think, this is just my belief, but.....I think they have such a strong will to survive because they do not know that death exists.

Nature is a harsh place. Does w/ fawns are killed everyday, be it by car, predator, hunter.......Given the growing population of the whitetailed deer in North America........I'm just guessing that the fawns will be just fine. After a certain age, of course. I realize that a 5 day old fawn cannot survive w/out the doe.
