No, actually, you're stupid. Sorry, but it is true.
Look, leaving aside the deer--I actually don't care about it one way or the other--but the fact that more than a dozen men, in body armor and armed with automatic weapons are dispatched to an animal shelter and the fact that "the DNR had been conducting aerial and ground surveillance in advance of the raid searching for an “illegally-held live captive Whitetail deer.”
I'm sorry, THAT is stupid.
Here's a far easier and cheaper way.
DNR "Game Warden" Friendly, in normal uniform, walks into animal shelter. He explains the law, and tells them to give him the deer. He leaves with said deer, and has the state vet euthanize it.
Alas, I will concede that your approach would have worked better. Not so stupid as to be unwilling to concede a point I hadn’t (and obviously the DNR) thought of.
I will always give way to a better argument rather than someone either telling me I’m stupid without telling me why or just telling me to shut up like at least one wag poster did.
What? Then the busload of Storm Troopers wouldn’t get any overtime............
Woah, there buddy, you are making too much sense!
“DNR “Game Warden” Friendly, in normal uniform, walks into animal shelter. He explains the law, and tells them to give him the deer. He leaves with said deer, and has the state vet euthanize it. “
An absolutely sane and common sense approach that a government of rational people would have been chosen.
