Overkill: Armed Agents Raid Wisconsin Animal Shelter; Kill Baby Deer Named Giggles "It was like SWAT

[magical thyme]

101. Last year we had a fawn hit by a car, who mostly likely was following her mother across the road

My point was if the people had hit the doe and the fawn was following, they would have known her mother was dead. And if they didn't want to admit to hitting a der, then they would have made up a story. We just don't know the circumstances.

And yes, if the fawn is truly abandoned or orphaned, as you admit, she will likely die. That may be the "natural order" of things, but that doesn't mean some people won't adopt the fawn.

You are entitled to your opinion that the fawn should have been left to die. But not everybody shares your opinion, and others are entitled to their opinions as well. In fact, we have a rural living DUer right on this board who raised an orphaned fawn and knows numerous other neighbors who have done the same. That DUer's fawn is grown up now, and living wild, but comes back to visit them from what I understand.

Agree, a dog shelter was not the best place to raise a fawn. Which is why they were transporting her to a licensed rehabilitator the next day, before the DNR decided to waste precious tax-payer resources to show up in full force and terrorize all of them in order to kill the fawn.
