This heading should more properly have been titled "Wisconsin Tax Dollars at Work" because all the authorities involved were State, not Federal ones. I appreciate the knee-jerk right-wing attempt to imply this was the big bad Federal Gov't at work, but in fact the parties involved were all Cheeseheads.

That said, I do agree with the sentiment, which is a general fear of the increasing militarization of local police forces. The police's job is to protect and serve. Not terrify and intimidate. But the cops seem to forget this. Probably because they usually get away with it.

Euthanizing is what is usually done in NYS, too, unless the animal is something uncommon, like a hawk. Deer are not uncommon, and, as Danzig pointed out, possibly infected with a pretty nasty disease.

Fact is, the people who brought the deer in broke the law. And last time I checked, ignorance of the law was not considered a valid excuse for violating it. LEAVE WILD ANIMALS ALONE. How hard is this for people to grasp?

So true about fawns not moving! My uncle nearly ran over one with his mower once- little thing was tucked in the grass, waiting for mama to come back, and even the noise of the mower wasn't going to move him. Fortunately, my uncle saw him in time and eventually mama came back to get her wee one.

DNR is funded by license fees not tax dollars.

Thanks to the governor, WI is very careful spending its tax dollars unlike the neighbor to the south. Deer in WI are as common as rats in Chicago and this is a non-story. The only idiots involved here are the ones who named the deer.
