The University of California in America has offered to analyse DNA to help catch three hooded teenagers who stamped a new born deer to death. Beth Whitton, director of veterinary forensics, saw an article about the attack in Upton Country Park, Poole.
She said any clothing found that was worn by the offenders at the time of the incident on Wednesday could be matched to DNA found on the fawn.
Ms Whitton said: "It really touched me, because you think of a new born fawn it is so innocent and vulnerable.
"We have to protect the most vulnerable people of society. If they could locate items of clothing, shoes, trousers and so forth that were worn by suspects at the time, we could test those items for deer blood and match them with that specific individual deer.
"Study after study has shown the type of people who brutalise innocent animals will go on to have violent criminals activity histories. It is important to get to these people and either help them or bring them into the criminal justice system."
Ms Whitton is awaiting contact from the officer in the case, who is off until tomorrow, before DNA can be taken from the fawn.
