The problem is you felt the need to demonize the woman to justify the force that was used by thirteen heavily armed men, to remove the animal.

You can’t have it both ways. By demonizing her, you excuse the overwhelming use of force, which was totally unnecessary.

And must have been a terrifying experience.

Granted, there were a hundred different things they could have done other than the combat raid. But with chronic wasting disease being a distinct possibility in the “abandonment” of the fawn, they weren’t taking chances. But give a small baby animal a cutsie name, a fatal disease, and release it somewhere else and you have just outlined a zombie movie script.

When a child is going to do something stupid and dangerous I'm not demonizing the child by stopping him or her. I am not demonizing her by pointing out the flaws in her thought process, nor am I demonizing her if I point out the possible or probable bad outcomes of her planned actions. Nor am I demonizing her for citing examples of other peoples actions or failures to act and how the consequences can and have impacted people for generations to follow.

Is this chimpanzee evil?

I'd say no. But I'd also say giving a chimp a loaded gun is a bad idea. I would deplore the thought processes of anyone foolish enough to do so.

But the absolute worst case is this cute little guy could kill at most a half dozen or so people or animals.

Wisconsin is already contemplating the dreadful necessity of having to eliminate entire herds of deer, keeping vast areas of the state deer and elk free until the soil contamination fades, and then painstakingly reintroducing healthy deer. Should Illinois have to do the same because a fawn had a cute name and was fuzzy?

Maybe you think an animal Holocaust is a fine idea, as long as it's half way around the planet, but I certainly don't.

Demonizing? I save that for politicians and bureaucrats who KNOW what evil they are doing.
