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.
While the little thing was sweet as pie, my issues aren’t with the deer being killed. It’s an animal. A non-domesticated animal at that. My issue is with the way that this raid went down. How about sending one, maybe two, officials to the shelter to explain the laws and the potential consequences (legal and disease) to the workers? They staked it out and donned body armor for God’s sake! Not only is this completely uncalled for, but it is a huge waste of our money.
Fair enough. That reply was NOT stupid.
