just minutes before she was captured

This is a frame of the video the DNR took right before they captured and then killed Giggles.
SHARK has received a trove of internal documents from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) regarding their July 15, 2013 armed raid on the Society of St. Francis animal shelter in Kenosha County, WI. This raid was to capture and kill a baby fawn that had been dropped off at the shelter, and who had been named “Giggles” by the shelter staff.
The DNR internal documents reveal the following:
• Though the DNR claimed in a public statement that “None of our staff take joy in these situations,” emails show that personnel were excited and looking forward to the raid. They even expressed that joy with “smiley faced” emoticons in their email.
• The DNR violated their own plan by killing Giggles before her origin could be discovered. Instead of asking the shelter owner where Giggles came from, the DNR simply killed the fawn outright.
• The DNR charged taxpayers for snacks and potato chips for their wardens who assisted with the raid.
• Giggles was killed by having a metal bolt shot through her head.
Left: The DNR’s own records show how excited and happy they were that they were going to capture and kill a baby deer. Right: The DNR actually charged taxpayers for snacks and potato chips for the wardens, because apparently if you work for the DNR, killing a fawn makes you hungry.
The armed raid by DNR was government at its very worst. These people abused their power, they wasted taxpayer money, and they took pleasure in an outrageous raid on an animal shelter all so they could capture and kill a fawn.
The DNR claimed that Giggles was “euthanized,” but by their own admission they killed her using a bolt gun.
A bolt gun is a slaughterhouse weapon. It is brutal and ugly and the DNR’s own record shows that this defenseless, 20 pound animal died after a state employee drove a steel bolt through her head. For that reason, and everything we’ve expressed, we are calling on Governor Scott Walker to immediately fire all those who are responsible for this disaster.
Take Action!
Please politely contact Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and ask him to fire all of those who planned and participated in this raid, especially those who took such joy in it.

WHAT the HELL is wrong with people? We’ve regressed and are becoming less civilized and more disgusting. I just can’t stand it. When we were in Tetons camping, sweet deer would walk through our campsite and they were so amazingly gentle and quiet, we felt quite lucky to be in their presence but afraid that they don’t know how to tell good people (us) from bad people who will harm them.
Fortunately deer are pretty aware of which humans are their friends and which are up to no good.

Reblogged this on Wolf Is My Soul.
Why? What did this deer do to them? Furthermore, how did they find out the deer was at the shelter?
My reply to this whole thing is why would you kill a deer with a bolt? Frankly, Scott Walker is going to give shite? He couldn’t care less. These people need to be buried deep in the tundra of life.
Yet another animal whose only sin is to be given the gift of life. When oh when is this all going to end.
