Lest anybody takes this forward, please remember that to stop and pick-up a wild animal you have (sadly/sucessfully) failed to avoid,is illegal under UK law. However it is essential that if you were to be so unlucky/lucky,you must stop safely and ensure no un-necessary suffering occurs.
However, if you come across such an occurrance , it is deemed lawful to remove and utilise said casualty as you may.
