Indiana couple fights charges over rescuing injured baby deer | Fox News

Indiana couple fights charges over rescuing injured baby deer | Fox News: "Jeff Counceller says a dying fawn he found on someone's porch three years ago surely wouldn't have lived had he and his wife not nursed it back to health on their eastern Indiana farm. The Connersville police officer insists they had no clue that they could be breaking the law.

The couple's good deed put them at odds with the state Department of Natural Resources, and prosecutors earlier this month charged Jeff and Jennifer Counceller with illegal possession of a white-tailed deer, a misdemeanor that carries up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine."

"it's bad for a deer to become acclimated to humans because they can become too trusting and easy prey for hunters."
So it's better to just let it die?!?
