Sounds like a couple found a fawn by the road, mom killed by a car, took it in, raised it, Fish and Game found out, seized the deer and destroyed it on the premise that it might spread disease and couldn't make it on its own. http://www.ktvq.com/story...h-pet-deer
If they would have contacted the Fish and Game when they found the fawn by the road, what would the Fish and Game do, raise it in confinement or kill it?
It doesn't look to me as if this "pet" deer is any different than any other deer that wanders into a corral and eats feed meant for cattle, sheep. If we see a deer in our corral eating hay, should we kill it because it might spread disease?
