Armed agents raid animal shelter for baby deer (& kill it)

Via WiscoDave


WISN 12 News investigates an operation raising questions about the use of government resources and the state policy that meant a death sentence for a fawn.


"It was like a SWAT team," shelter employee Ray Schulze said.

Two weeks ago, Schulze was working in the barn at the Society of St. Francis on the Kenosha-Illinois border when a swarm of squad cars arrived and officers unloaded with a search warrant.

"(There were) nine DNR agents and four deputy sheriffs, and they were all armed to the teeth," Schulze said.

The focus of their search was a baby fawn brought there by an Illinois family worried she had been abandoned by her mother.

"When it made a little noise, it sounded like it was laughing," Schulze said.

  1. Brave men, these! I've heard terrible, terrible stories of fawns striking down scores of hearty fellows! And the damage that can be wrought by shelter workers - it's truly God's work that they made it home safe to bed.

  2. Maybe they saw that "Drawn Together" episode when the Deer wanted Cpt Hero to rid the world of guns.. It had AW's in vending machines.
