An Indiana couple who nursed an injured fawn back to health more than two years ago is now facing jail time after refusing to leave the animal to die.
Connersville police officer Jeff Counceller says that it was a little more than two years ago while on patrol that he discovered the tiny deer curled up on a neighbor’s front porch, badly wounded and unable to stand.
Without time to help it himself, he called his wife, a registered nurse, who cautiously approached the deer with their teenaged daughter before experiencing the fawn gently licking their hands.
Unbeknownst to them at the time, however, was that bringing the animal home with them was illegal according to the state's Department of Natural Resources, with the crime punishable by jail.

I said “more”, not “most”. Otherwise, I agree with you.
Here’s the key phrase:
“Unbeknownst to them at the time, however, was that bringing the animal home with them was illegal according to the state’s Department of Natural Resources, with the crime punishable by jail.”
This is why all you conservatives need to turn off NFL football, turn off the barbecue, stop redocorating your kitchens and stop chasing the false god Mammon.
You need to get off your fat dupas and elect a constitutional sheriff who believes in the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment.
With a constitutional sheriff you can:
1. Investigate liberals in your community.
2. Throw those pigs in prison.
3. Buy surplus military arms, including mortars and machineguns.
4. Muster a division of like-minded fully-armed citizens for “emergencies” who can to tell the state DNR to KMA.
You conservatives best slap yourselves awake before you’re rounded up and hauled to “Arbeit macht frei.”
Like.
we took care of an abandoned fawn a few years ago. smart as any dog. knew its name. came when you called it. played in the sprinkler
let anyone come up and pet it. when it was time, she went back to the woods and did very well. one of the best experiences our family ever had. kept the DNR out of it as we had already heard horror stories about them shooting them in front of your kids. i would have shot back.
i think many in government want us to hate them. i even think some want to goad us into firing on them in self defense.
Amen.
Spoken by a fellow criminal - But! - ONLY in the eyes of corrupt men.
Dear Lord, hear our prayer.

You can get all the *dog* distemper shots you want.
Cat vaccines seem to pretty limited and you must use the feline vax on coons.
[pet coons may possibly be why cat vax are not as easily found]
I was visiting 2 of my daughters in Dallas. One is a law student and another prelaw at SMU.. We had tickets to see Justice Scalia. He spoke on his new book, “Reading the Law”. The premis of the book is to tell lawyers and judges ‘how to’ judge (that is a very elementary explaination). One of the axioms he perports in the book is that there are laws (written code) which no reasonable person would enforce. There is a long Latin term he used, but the thrust of it was that some laws are so inane in todays parlance that it is unreasonable to be applied. Given the fact that they are bringing the case 1 1/2 years after the animal was rehabilitated it seems cruel and inhumain to euthanize a completely healthy deer. Where’s the love? But these killers of animals which have been rehabilitated by people who love them must be democrats....or as Walowitz’s mother refers to him as a putz...Democrat putz.
Yes, Nature and other life has no meaning or value, it’s all about you and your car. Congratulations: You are the living version of the liberal cartoon of the conservative as a self-centered, vicious knuckle-dragger.
Lets hear it for our brave police, keeping us safe from dangerous criminals like this.
Best Comment of the Year.
If not decade.
Thankfully I have such a County Sheriff.
Yeah, who gave them the right to exist. God? What a laugh!
“Lets hear it for our brave police, keeping us safe from dangerous criminals like this.”
Read the story again, The police officer and his wife are the ones who saved the animal.
And there it is - modern day liberalism in a nutshell...
Scum that would shoot a helpless fawn are sub human....
My family has always been in the livestock business.
My great-grandfather once took a stick after my behind when I failed to hit the ditch in a loaded grain truck in order to shoot at a passing pack of coyotes.
Old lessons die hard.
The population didn't explode and become a traffic hazard until people were regulated into not shooting and eating them.
We were equal opportunity killers in those days - deer for crop destruction, coyotes for livestock destruction.
All the activities of those animals took money out of people's pockets.
