Well...if this doe must be "euthanized" Jim Filipetti might as well put her down himself and then he could have some good venison.

Rules against raising wildlife are there for good reason, but this is stupid. Why not just put the deer in a petting zoo, and be done with it?

[Freedom_no_exceptions]

The vast majority of the phone calls Oregon officials took were from all over the political spectrum: bleeding-heart Bambi lovers and government-out-of-my-business types alike, united in their call for the return of Filipetti's deer.

I'm with the second camp. It may not generally be a good idea to raise wild animals as pets, but there are exceptions to every rule. Government laws are not good at dealing with exceptions, but that shouldn't be the pet owner's problem. Return the deer.

Bureaucrats act like souless ghouls. They operate strictly “by the book” and act incapable of independent thought, good judgement or compassion. They are petty little dictators exercising their only lifetime opportunity to flaunt authoritative power over someone else. How important they are! It isn’t hard to imagine why the Nazi or Communist regimes were so dangerous — the leaders would have been ineffective without legions of these subservient ghouls to carry out their bidding. /RANT

State Wants To Euthanize Doe Man Raised From Fawn

Let the poor "doe man raised from fawn" live! Think of the scientific research benefits.

Has there every been a doe man before? Don't kill him because he's different! He was raised from a fawn and they want to kill him?

Don't hate, appreciate!

Where’s the “leave Bambi alone” YouTube video?

I’m waiting...

*tapping feet*

Why can’t the state just give them a permit to continue to keep those particular deer? Too easy, too just.

It sure is nice to have government to stop us from making “mistakes”.

From the article

And in 2005, state officials discovered a black bear in the home of a Roseburg man. The bear had been living there for years, it turns out, eating people food, even sleeping in a bed made for humans.

Now THIS I'd like to see.

As far as worried about diseases this animal may have, why not test it and see? If the doe is not going anywhere what's the harm in it?

Another thread on the deer - thought you might like to see it.
