Where was the warrant to search the property? If illegal deer was found, seizure and removal would be right. They didn’t have to kill the fawn right there. Removal and dispersal later would make more sense.
And, why the SWAT tactics? What’s wrong with these people?
“The warden drafted an , complete with aerial photos in which he described getting himself into a position where he was able to see the fawn going in and out of the barn.”
“affidavit for the search warrant”
You must have missed that part?
Perhaps killing the fawn on the property was a good reminder for the morons of the results of their stupid actions.
Animal-rights nutballs cause more harm to wildlife than they help.
