as for tax dollars, the agents get paid whether raiding an animal shelter, or sitting in their truck in the woods.
First of all, the baby deer was going to be taken to a sanctuary (a sanctuary that is licensed to care for deer) the next day. The DNR could have sent one person out to the shelter and found out that the deer was being moved the next day. You think it was wise to have 9 armed agents raid an animal shelter because it temporarily took in a baby deer? And you think it was ok for them to kill the deer for no reason?

From what I've heard, any type of government operation costs money. For example, in Los Angeles some guy called in some fake claim about being shot at. The police sent out about 50 officers. They said the cost of the operation was several thousand dollars. The guy who called in the fake claim had to pay the cost of the operation.

With regard to your article, it doesn't say anything about any risk from petting a deer. It says the risk is from killing and especially from eating them.
