The deer was wounded to the extent it could not stand. My friend, a hunter in the past, slit the deer's throat so it would quickly die. This was observed by a neighbor across the street from him who called the cops. The neighbor made a cruelty to animals complaint, and my friend had to go to court. The judge, apparently with a decent head on his shoulder, threw the case out. It still cost my friend some bucks and time. Unreal. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |
