I think that this is another of those, It's a "cute" animal so it's not okay situations. If they old lady had killed a snake, rat, mole, or other less liked creature in her yard, no one would say shit. Why is a deer more precious than a mole? She could coat her lawn in mole poison and nothing would be said. Of course since I've hit three "horned rats" on motorcycles and my brother lost his football scholarship and almost lost a leg to a deer accident... I may be biased.
Hell, I've killed two deer by hand myself, one with a baseball bat and one with a pick axe. FWIW, they were both injured and I was trying to "put them out of their misery.
I'm not saying what she did is okay but it always amazes me how people will be outraged about the death of one animal and condone the killing of another under the same basic circumstances. I mean one guy on here killed a snake in his garage and it was all, "Good for you dude" but someone kills a fawn and they are the devil.
Hey we all put out rat traps and most of us would kill a bat without a second thought but a FAWN?!? Monstrous!
