Sad ending

Several years ago there was a story about a rescue in Wisconsin that was invaded by a swat team. Their purpose? Get custody of a baby deer and euthanize it, because it's illegal to keep deer in Wisconsin. The rescue had intended to send it to another state where it is legal. These guys came in, held a bunch of senior citizens and teenagers hostage, no phone calls, nothing, for several hours over a deer. Talk about overkill. Which brings me to my story. I was driving to my sister's for her birthday, and had to slow down for a car stopped at the side with its emergency lights on. As we passed, I saw there was a buck sitting there with a broken leg. His eyes were looking straight at me. I asked my brother-in-law if there were any rescues that rehabilitate deer, or if they just shoot them. You know the answer. I didn't tell the kids, but when we drove home later that night, he was dead by the side of the road. Sad.
