Ulysses, KS — An infuriating and heart-breaking video was posted to social media recently of a family’s beloved pet deer, Faline, named after the Disney Bambi character, was gunned down in front of them — for being illegal.
In Kansas, keeping wild animals as pets is illegal.
However, it wasn’t like Kim Mcgaughey and her family lived in the city and had some tiger in their apartment. No, the Mcgaugheys live on a farm and the deer wasn’t stolen from the wild and brought to their home. Instead, the family nursed Faline back to health after she showed up at their farm with a broken leg.
Only after Faline refused to leave did the family start feeding her.

Games Wardens are jerks.
My buddy and his bro and dad were hunting on their land not too far from their house, some 20 miles from town in the boonies when a Warden walked up unannounced and handed out fines for not having orange vests on and a loaded rifle in the tree stand with no one around it....? WTF

What was the point in killing it???
They were told they can't keep it as a pet, fine, that means it has to be let go so why shoot it?? That makes no sense. They could have just shot it and let them keep it at that point.
Clearly this had nothing at all to do with the deer or it's well being or anything else. This was just an A-hole that wanted to terrorize this family for some reason. There is more to this story. It makes no sense.
That would be like rescuing a kidnap victim just to shoot them once they're in custody.

And let me guess, they took her home and ate her?

That pretty messed up. I wonder why the cops even went there in the first place. A neighbor must have snitched on them or something.
Where is DLM (Deer LIves Matter)?
