Texas and Kansas share the same policy. All deer in the state belong to the State. Come to think of it I think that’s the same  policy as the King of England. It is against the law to make pets of them. Pet-deer-shot-dead-front-233317855

Deer also don’t do well being herded, trapped or transported. What may appear a kindness to a deer could actually be a death warrant. Two questions unanswered by the video: 1 did the homeowner get a citation? and 2 who got the meat?

Look at the background. This isn’t suburbia on three and a half acres. This is a farming operation with a large barn. These folks knew what the law is regarding wildlife and they ignored it. When the inevitable happened they invited the kids along to watch. The real villains in this piece are mom and dad, not the game wardens enforcing the law. The game wardens allowed themselves to be played.

Hey kids! You know that pony you wanted for Christmas? Santa brought it just like he promised. He put it under the tree. Your mother took it out and killed it before you got up. Merry Christmas.
