Armed agents raid animal shelter for baby deer

KENOSHA, Wis. —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.

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

Why couldn't they have tried to just release this baby deer?

1. Jesus. There is no logical explanation.

2. I can't imagine a worse PR move for the Feds, than this one.

What were they thinking?

4. Especially after Schulze told them: ....

"I said the deer is scheduled to go to the wildlife reserve the next day"

It was to go to a wildlife reserve in Illinois that allows the rehabilitation of deer. Schulze said agents corralled workers near the picnic area and then set out in search of the fawn.

"I was thinking in my mind they were going to take the deer and take it to a wildlife shelter, and here they come carrying the baby deer over their shoulder. She was in a body bag," Schulze said. "I said, 'Why did you do that?' He said, 'That's our policy,' and I said, 'That's one hell of a policy.''

Supervisor Jennifer Niemeyer tries to justify their actions with this little gem:

"If a sheriff's department is going in to do a search warrant on a drug bust, they don't call them and ask them to voluntarily surrender their marijuana or whatever drug that they have before they show up"

The whole article is quite mind blowing.

5. This just makes me so sad. I don't understand this.

I can't wrap my thoughts around why people would do such a thing?

7. It's completely insane

I guess Wisconsin has a wasting disease, so they can't just free it--but this was just mind blowing. It was going to a wildlife refuge.

What type of idiotic following-orders goon needs to kill a bottle fed fawn to feel important?
