Of course, the flip side of this is that it's always possible that a) you've misjudged how badly hurt the animal is and it's going to be fine, or b) further to that, whether it's dying or not, you could get badly hurt by approaching a wounded wild animal (even a deer), which is why even dragging it off the road is potentially inadvisable.

And, you know, the horrific experience of bludgeoning a screaming animal to a far more traumatic death. That old chestnut.
