This is NO BS - I just saw it on the news.
A resident of Montgomery County, Md. (suburb of Wash, DC) saved the life of a young deer that was hit by a car a few weeks ago. The deer has now become a "pet" of this family, is upwards of 80-90 lbs and lives in the house as would a dog or cat.
The resident, now believing the deer should be released back into the wild called animal control hoping they would take the deer. Well Animal control wants to destroy the deer to check for CWD, so after hearing about their plans the resident drove the deer to some secluded spot and let the deer loose in the woods.
Now comes the unbelieveable part. On our local news channel,
NBC-Ch 4, is now showing a photo of the deer, Bucky, and asking any viewer if they see "THIS DEER" to call animal control immediately. Now, I ask you, is there anybody out there that can positively identify an 80-90 lb deer, with no horns, in a herd of deer or alone, to be "Bucky"...and not just an unrelated imposter?
How stupid is the media to go along with this request from the county and animal control?

The couple that found Bucky phoned the Dept of Natural Resources for help in relocating him, & were told that they might be arrested for illegal possession of wildlife. DNR followed up saying that would come to the house, but would tranq Bucky & euthanize him. Not wanting to 1) be arrested, & 2) see the deer killed, they THEN relocated him with help from neighbors.
After learning that Bucky was gone, DNR threatened to cite them for disobeying their instructions. When the story hit the news, they decided to just forget about the whole thing.
