More than once, this has been the case in many similar situations. Happens all the time. In our area, there was a nice "Piebald" Whitetail in a protected county park. Families would drive into the park, just to get a look at him. He was absolutely beautiful and that made him a target. Same thing on albinos. ...Reminds me of one that was in a fenced wooded area of a USAFB. It was a pet and people would feed it through the fence all the time. Someone finally shot & killed it.
Hardly; I also will not shoot squirrels in our back yards, even though my Mother-in-Law wants me to because they tear up her flower beds. However, I do like eating squirrels. ....Is the only reason you decide not to do something because it is against the law ?
