And THIS was their entire reason:

“The DNR said it had received several reports of collared deer in the area of Highway 97 and North Shore Trail, and e-mailed the Forest Lake Police Department to recommend that officers dispatch the deer if they were located because they ‘were **probably** captured and collared illegally.’”

They were collared, for G-d’s sake.

Why were they collared?

What are “collared deer”?

Collard greens I know, but not collared deer. Is this along the lines of feeding wild animals that are on your property? Do we outlaw bird feeders now? As in the actual people who feed birds (and other animals that show up for the bird seed)?

There is nothing in the story that says the fawns were collared, in fact quite the opposite......

But the cop said...

Carpenter then asked whether he had shot the other one, and the officer said, "The DNR told me to shoot them as they may be diseased."

Somebody is lying. My money is on the DNR and the cops.
