Do we really need a dozen cops to kill one baby deer? [View all]

Agents of the Department of Natural Resources in Wisconsin executed a search warrant to investigate reports that a no kill animal shelter had in their possession, a Deer Fawn. This baby deer was brought in by a woman who believed that it had been abandoned by it's mother. So the animal shelter folks were raising the deer, and then were going to send it to a wildlife preserve in Illinois.

Two weeks ago, Schulze was working in the barn at the Society of St. Francis on the Kenosha-Illinois border when a swarm of squad cars arrived and officers unloaded with a search warrant.

&quot There were) nine DNR agents and four deputy sheriffs, and they were all armed to the teeth," Schulze said.

The focus of their search was a baby fawn brought there by an Illinois family worried she had been abandoned by her mother.

OK, so they've raided the dastardly people who dared to try and nurse an animal into adult hood where it could care for itself.

"I was thinking in my mind they were going to take the deer and take it to a wildlife shelter, and here they come carrying the baby deer over their shoulder. She was in a body bag," Schulze said. "I said, 'Why did you do that?' He said, 'That's our policy,' and I said, 'That's one hell of a policy.'"

so what does DNR say was the reason behind this? That baby fawn was a danger to the humans. Really. It was.

Supervisor Jennifer Niemeyer said the law requires the DNR agents to euthanize animals like Giggles because of the potential for disease and danger to humans.

Someone is a danger to humans, but I doubt that Giggles the fawn was it.
