Government agents swarmed an animal shelter and killed a baby deer named Giggles as Wisconsin law forbids keeping wildlife without the right permit.
WISN 12 News reported on a military-style operation in July where nine officers from the Department of Natural Resources and four deputy sheriffs stormed the barn at the Society of St. Francis on the Illinois border.
Angry Cindy Schulze, the shelter's president, is planning legal action and questioned whether the raid was a good use of government resources.
She accused authorities of going 'way over the top for a little, tiny, baby deer.'
'It was like a SWAT team,' shelter employee Ray Schulze said. When he asked the officers why they had killed the fawn they told him it was down to policy. 'That's one hell of a policy,' the man replied.
The agents, heavily armed and with a search warrant, euthanized the baby deer which was scheduled to move to a proper wildlife facility the following day.

I have been posting weird pics and gifs all night it seems. I am just in that mood.
And I appreciate it!
G’night, FRiend!
g’night
What is the matter with these People?
Oh this makes my blood boil. Disgusting, overreaching power hungry thugs.
Only a suggestion...but if you suddenly started selling SWAT clothing (one-piece jump-suits, fake Chinese-made helmets, and cheap jungle boots), then you’d start a trend.
Young gals and guys would appear in malls....sunglasses, SWAT suits, and helmets. Then you’d start to have odd colors for the SWAT suits....neon yellow, neon pink...always with the bright black SWAT logo.
This would start to bother the wannabe GI’s in law enforcement that they aren’t that fierce or special. It’d take a couple of years, but the public would eventually start to make jokes over this and political parties would lack the will to continue major support for SWAT.
Wow, such big brave men to storm that animal shelter and kill that little baby deer with their machine guns and bullet proof vests. Thank goodness they killed that deer before it managed to hurt anybody. Limey fagots.
Can you imagine what else “they” are planning with all the “practice drills?
Exactly my first thought!
Heh! You were on a roll. Fun stuff!
No ex-millitary personnel should be allowed to join a police force until 10 years after their honorable discharge. This outrageous behavior must stop.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution
But, hey, who says the police have to abide by this lousy piece of paper? Welcome to soft tyranny that has now gone hard.
We are no longer a "free" nation, we just don't want to admit it.
If Fascism were a clock that struck midnight, we would be at 11:55 pm.
This is Prohibitions red headed step child almost fully grown!
Any you thought Capone and the Kennedys were bad!!!!!
This War on Drugs is in reality a War on People! Always has been.
Time to feed the pigs.
This was only a practice run, you haven’t seen anything yet.
Wait till odumbo unleashes his “brown shirts”, then all hell will start breaking loose.
On another related issue..Somehow I think there has to be more to the story than what has been written. 15 men, DNR and Cty Sheriff Deputies sent to kill one deer? Sounds a bit over the top to me too. Somethings rotten in Denmark.
"We've come for your deer."
Nothing to see here, folks.
It’s just the “dignified” extinction paradigm marching smartly forward.
Essentially, the wildlife and “conservation” departments all around North America have slowly been taken over by extreme animal “rights” activists, who are very much of the mindset that “wild” animals are better off dead than EVER interacting with humans in any way, shape or form.
A similar story to this one played out a few years back in Oregon as well, when orphaned cougar kittens whose mother had been run over by a truck were turned in to a wildlife sanctuary. The director of Oregon Fish & Game sent in armed agents to seize and shoot the cougar kittens, and the director made the public statement that if the mother was already dead, then it was far more “humane” to “let nature take its course” with regards to the kittens.
...Letting nature take its course, somehow being defined as making those kittens die of acute lead poisoning.
“We have to kill the deer to save the deer”. Thugs! Gestapo! God damn them!
