My heart can't

A deer entered one of the shops in Colorado. The shop owner gave him some chocolate biscuits and chocolate. He came out of the store and returned after half an hour with all his family members.. 😭❤❤

1. So precious!

2. "gave him?"

hims have antlers

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Ah, they're so cute!

Thanks, Steve....

[TwistOneUp]

4. And the next day ...

The deer all came back with splitting headaches and threatened to sue.

A similar thing happens if you're nice to the rethugs: they'll think you're an "easy sell" and will come back the next day with fundagelicals and try to bring you to Jeebus while getting your vote.

Don't feed the rethugs!

5. Cute, but best not feed chocolate to wildlife

A fed deer is a dead deer.

[TNNurse]

7. You are correct.

It is a kind idea but making wildlife dependent on being fed is dangerous. Birds are apparently the exception. Wildlife who learn to come to populated areas for food will eat things they shouldn't, get hit by cars and if they are perceived as dangerous are often killed by officials.

13. some animals can be killed by chocolate

For example, dogs. Never ever let your pet dog get into chocolate.

6. Is chocolate even safe for them to eat?

[MiniMe]

23. I wonder about that too, chocolate is poison for dogs

[Sancho]

8. Makes sense to me.

[Laffy Kat]

9. My sister and her family leave corn out for the deer and other wildlife.

On their property. They talk about how lovely the deer are and then during hunting season they shoot a couple. I don't get it. I'll never get it. Yes, they eat them but I don't think that's why they shoot them.

[jberryhill]

10. Why else would they shoot them?

You know, I’ll bet someone on their way to the store to pick up a few pounds of meat is going to hit a deer and it will be dead by the side of the road.

Having the meat show up by itself is much more convenient.

[Laffy Kat]

11. I dunno. Seems like a lot of trouble to dress a deer, butcher it, etc.

They may take it somewhere to be butchered although that would be costly. I honestly think people who hunt for the "sport" of it get some pleasure out of the kill. That's why else they would shoot them.

[jberryhill]

12. I guess it depends on a lot of things

Plenty of people in Pennsylvania hunt deer to put meat in the freezer.

Although you can donate your kill:

15. That's good. I'm not against hunting by any means.

I think it's more humane than industry raised cattle and such. I simply don't understand the "sport" of it and never will.

[calimary]

14. Well, that's one way to get new customers...

Hesitate about the chocolate part, though. Dogs don’t do well by chocolate. It’s not for critters, I don’t think. More for ME, then.

16. I always remember the sign 'Danger From Deer'

In Richmond Park near London.

Disney has a lot to answer for romanticizing Bambi.

Four words: 'Deer ticks', 'Lyme disease'.

[ThingsGottaChange]

17. How quickly

this went from "Awww....so cute and wonderful", to death and killing. Thanks much for posting, Steve. Shame it went in that direction. Makes me so sad....

18. Not a male deer. CBS story says "mama deer"

“Mama came in the front door and I kind of did a double take,” Jones said.

“Mama” is a doe. Jones has seen her around the store with her young, but usually outside. On this particular day, Mama had other plans.

“She came on in and I just started laughing,” said Jones.

She tried shooing her off, but it didn’t work.

19. Now he can't get rid of them..

If he doesn't keep feeding them, they will break his windows. Slash his tires. Threaten his family members. Don't let those doe eyes fool you.

[A HERETIC I AM]

27. Soon they'll be sitting on his couch....

Hogging the remote

[libdem4life]

28. Drinking all the beer from the fridge, munching popcorn...

I think I'd help them go OUTSIDE after that. The only kind of pellets I want in my house, go in the stove. LOL

[A HERETIC I AM]

30. Fuckin' deer

“NO! We aren’t watching Bambi again. That’s 23 times this week. Go get a job”

Never invite the deer over. Huge mistake

[libdem4life]

31. OMG...LMAO. n/t

[FakeNoose]

20. Chocolate is poison to dogs, but they still think it tastes good

I don't believe chocolate would be healthy for any domesticated animal, and I'm guessing deer are probably like dogs in that way.

[MiniMe]

24. Agree

I had the same question. I think it is great for the owner to give them some food, but chocolate is not a good thing to give them

[sandensea]

21. Aww. Thanks for posting this.

We need a little tenderness at times like these.

[oberliner]

22. That's not actually what happened

The store owner tried to lure the deer out with food.

(This is a year old, or so)

[Cha]

25. Precious as it can be!

However Chocolate has caffeine as well as sugar in it.. no wonder she brought the whole fam back with her.

[Danascot]

26. Obviously

The deer had been to the cannabis store down the street and developed the munchies.
