With All The Cruelty Going On Around The World To Animals

[DrFilth]

you would think the ones that have power would want more people like this lady to adopt and look after animals that are abandoned

Unfortunately we all have to live within the laws of the country we live in regardless of how well meaning our actions, ideas or beliefs.

Is it wrong to have laws in place to prohibit the keeping of wild animals? the problem is, where do you draw the line?

She says she rescued the fawn. the authority says it is a danger to other species and could spread disease. I think we need to be looking at the bigger picture.

Still a great shame for the family and the deer, maybe it could have gone to a deer park somewhere?

It does seem a bit harsh.

[ummmm]

Well it's hardly going to be released into the wild.

It's idiotic. It's been living there for over five years, also the official's use of language when he says ' euthanasia is the 'best' course of action', clearly means there are other courses of action. I don't think its too much to hope for that just occasionally someone uses their common sense and writes on their report ' no deer present when I visited'. If we all lived by the letter of the law, we'd all be arrested on most days, you need some flexibility and common sense.

With all my heart, I hope she wins. If not, I hope it is peacefully pts in her arms. Personally, I don't see how this one little animal can be a threat.
