Besides there is one little thing I intentionally left out to give the apologists time to explain the justifications of taking this action most of us would consider over the top.

In certain circumstances, Wisconsin allows organizations to house wild deer but only with a state-issued permit.

So why didn't the DNR folks explain this, and help this shelter get the permit they would have needed to save the life of an animal? Because it's far more fun for the Cops to suit up and raid a house and then kill than it is to work with people and save lives.

You are not a wildlife rehabilitator because you run an animal shelter. X_Digger Aug 2013 #3

So the best answer is death? Savannahmann Aug 2013 #6

No, if you find an abandoned fawn, leave it alone. X_Digger Aug 2013 #10

They should have transferred it to a wildlife rehabber Mojorabbit Aug 2013 #5

Getting the permit likely involves training, vaccinations, and appropriate quarantine protocols. X_Digger Aug 2013 #11
