Someone brought a fawn to a no-kill animal shelter, they thought something had happened to the Mother. The shelter took care of it and arranged to have it transferred to an wild animal reserve.

But the day before this would take place, Dept of Natural Resources (DNR) raided the animal shelter and killed the fawn -- they said it's "policy" -- they found out about it from an anonymous caller...

Your government at work...

Wait !

They just didn't go in there willy nilly;

"On July 15 DNR agents and four deputy sheriff’s staged the surprise raid in what staff workers called a massive and “intimidating” show of force.

According to a state affidavit, the DNR had been conducting aerial and ground surveillance in advance of the raid searching for an “illegally-held live captive Whitetail deer.”

They WORKED at it.

The only difference between these clowns and the Keystone Cops is a title. They will probably fine the owner for talking to the Press.

I shudder to think that this kind of mindless bureaucracy will soon be in charge of our health care.

I wonder what urgent business these agents are off to today

The government agencies that are supposed to protect wildlife are killing them and not allowing others to save them.

Another sad story, where agents forced a couple to abandon an injured baby seal, didn’t allow them to save it:

Weymouth couple could face fine for helping injured baby seal (better to abandon it, let it die)

Not the mention the money this costs — I think we would all be better off if they just dissolved that department.

No grandmas in wheel chairs will be safe from the drones peering down on their backyards. Goodbye to the USA. Hello to the NSA.

Maybe the agents were hungry?

Three cheers for CNN ! The start of a very encouraging trend. I’d watch if I had cable. :) It looks like they have finally come to the realization that the root of the decline had been a lack of real reporting.

Frightening, isn't it? But, that is exactly a majority of voters said, via their votes, in 2008 and 2012. The only silver lining in an otherwise black cloud is that, under the system that they demanded is they will be in the first group to be eliminated . Unfortunately the old, infirm, and those with birth defects will be included in the first group. After that, the ins will begin eliminating the outs as both sides jockey for political advantage.

Killing something. That is how they get their sexual thrill, a/k/a , jollies; orgasm.

Meanwhile, the mother is pissed because the stupid human kid napped her fawn.

There were no teenage or adult fawns to kill so they shot the baby fawn

They WORKED at it.

You betcha!

All this was a training excercise. How fast can they deploy using all assets based on an anonymous tip.

Not to mention finding out if they have the stones to kill a fawn named Giggles. If you can kill Bambi in the blink of an eye surely women and children will be a snap.

Added bonus is that creek cops are exempt from warrant requirements and can call on other LEO assests to assist in these wildlife adventures.

Let's say a grandchild discovers a toy bow and arrow set bought at a Stucky's when you were a child. Plays with it in your yard observed by a zealous eco-nut, who then quietly calls local Fish & Wildlife or the Fed reporting that you have an item with the feathers of an endangered or threatened species on the arrow. WHAM! Not only will the creek cops been on your case, Chile-protection might be called in depending on what NSA taps reveal. Hell, they'll do it just because.

Taxpayer dollars used to intimidate private citizens, kill a baby deer and violate the privacy of a not for profit organization.

Great job, DNR.
