Agents Raid Animal Shelter, Kill Deer Named “Giggles”

The president of a Wisconsin animal shelter is furious after the state Department of Natural Resources raided the facility with armed agents, detained volunteer workers and killed a baby deer named “Giggles.”

I’m furious,” said Cindy Schultz, president of the Society of St. Francis in Kenosha, Wis. “We are a no-kill shelter. And they killed her. They killed Giggles. I’m furious – furious.”

Schultz told Fox News an Illinois family found a baby fawn that had been abandoned by her mother. The family brought the deer to the Wisconsin shelter.

Staff members nicknamed the deer “Giggles.”

Wisconsin law bans residents or shelters from possessing any live wild animals without a license. Wisconsin does not rehabilitate deer so if they find an abandoned fawn, the creature is left to die, Schultz said.

“We took it of course and we made arrangements to transfer the deer to an animal reserve in Illinois,” she said. “The day before she was supposed to leave, we had the raid.”

On July 15 DNR agents and four deputy sheriff’s staged the surprise raid in what staff workers called a massive and “intimidating” show of force.

It is.

If the StateGov will send 19 armed men ready to kill civilians in order to end the life of one illegally kept deer, what will they send to stop things the State REALLY doesn’t like?

That is the effective part. The demonstration of the monopoly of violence.

Lower. The missing coma between the date, July 15, and the unspecified number of DNR agents.

4% of all people are sociopaths. 96% of them take jobs where they can exert maximum authority over the weakest segments of a polite society.

Examples: Cops, Military, Politicians, and anyone in the Healthcare or Social Services industries.

"According to a state affidavit, the DNR had been conducting aerial and ground surveillance in advance of the raid searching for an “illegally-held live captive Whitetail deer.”

THAT is just plain sick ... but then ... I remember clips of the SWAT team that murdered women and children in WACO, Texas.

“On July 15 DNR agents and four deputy sheriffs”

Just one under the number of Federal employees required to change a light bulb.
