Were they sedated, hence having trouble standing, or were they just exhausted and stiff from being hooked together too long?
I like how the "surgeon" is getting to run as he gets close to finishing.
It looks like a Monty Python Skit when they finally get free
Have to wonder how long they were trapped like that.
At time mark 0.08 it shows shadows of 3 other persons watching/involved with the process. One of the 3 people has a long gun/tranquilizer air rifle over his shoulder. he may have darted the animals before the antler surgeon went to work.
I expect they were down for a while prior to release and the weight of their bodies shut off the circulation to the legs trapped beneath their bodies. Once freed they have no feeling in those legs until the blood supply rejuvenates them, hence the staggering gait. This effect also happens with cattle that have been down for a while.Quote:
