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.

Think an IED can take that out?
I hope the sum beeches all get boils
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” - Barack Obama 2008
Military take down over little pieces of wood!
Enjoy your Police State America! We're all Suspects NOW!
well bfd
it pieced people off enough they posted numerous times, it should piece them off
1) where is the photo shop of bambi being seized like Elian Gonzalez?
2) These guys are so efficient and ready for blood- maybe they should be deputized to go find the Benghazi terrorists who butchered our ambassador, since the no one else seems to be finding them
They will not agree to that [being deputized and sent hunting Benghazi terrorists] the Benghazi terrorists shoot back. These guys prefer those who can’t shoot back.
What was that town in MA that they went door to door forcing out the occupants at gun point under the guise of hunting an “armed terrorists”?
Overnight quartering of troops! 3rd amendment.
It's on his checklist of things to violate peeps!
Fawns don’t shoot back. (That’s baby deer for those in Rio Linda.)
They used armed force to kill the fawn, lest it be abused?
No.
They used nonsensically overwhelming force to prove that the King’s deer are not to be touched by the common folk, not for the sake of the deer, but to make a clear point on who weilds power in the realm.
Ok.... nearly everyday there is a news story somewhere about people killing wildlife “out of season”.
These heavily armed “agents” obviously broke the hunting laws, they conspired to commit a felony and carried out the felony.
Almost every government agency now has swat teams. There’s really no reason for the EPA, IRS and other agencies to have them except that they CAN—and they look cool on the charts.
Here is a place where the sequester should be used.
NOBODY NEEDS 10 BULLETS TO KILL A DEER!!! But Big Govt Inc... needs 15 armed agents. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvKXJ6VTlAM
It’s SE Wisconsin. No surprise here. I live just a few miles from this place. Between gangs and police. One side wants to kill you for a dollar. The other side wants to kill you for your own good. Both need to be neutered.
^^Seriously!
