Those animals at the zoo belong to someone and shooting them would be a crime
Unless you had permission from the owner or I owned the petting zoo.
In my state baiting is totally illegal so so giving feed would be a crime
Not in mine. But I guess the only relevant thing is, is baiting legal where ms 6852 lives since the deer in question is where he's at. But if baiting is illegal where he's at, if the deer is as tame as presented, wouldn't be much more then walking up to one of the cows and shooting it. Or much different if I'd had raised this buck from a youngin and he were used to me.
Hey, there's an idea...sell off the cows and start raising deer for market. Bet they'd load just as easy on the stock trailer come market time. Ya think?
Comparing criminal activity to non-criminal activity is not very apt.
See how easy everything became legal.
Still not the obvious point I was making. I am simply saying, I would get more enjoyment watching this almost tamed deer(as I'm sure other townspeople do) then shooting/eating it. I'd rather eat a nice doe anyways.
FWIW, I'm not saying what others should do and not trying to convince others of my thoughts. I'm saying what I would do and have my own reasons for it.
