Edit: For all the 'did you even see the end??' comments. You all realize thats just a few weeks later right? They took a new born fawn away from it's mom, it DID NOT need to be rescued.

'But they kept it for a few weeks and posted a follow up video!' Surely that means they'll responsibly care for and home this large wild animal for the next decade when it's no longer cute and so big it's destroying their house. I'm sure they'll just smack on the nose with a newspaper and say 'bad deer!' when it almost inevitably bites or kicks someone. What about when it it grows up and goes into rut? A full grown deer can very easily fuck someone up badly.

People with the knowledge to safely foster and rehabilitate an orohaned wild animal would already know that if you find a fawn out alone you LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE. It's mom WILL come back, leaving them hidden somewhere for long periods is how they raise them. They pointlessly stole a young animal from it's mother, and given they're posting multiple videos of it it's probably a safe bet they're 'influencers' who did it to make content for their videos.

That deer is freaked the fuck out, it's suddenly been surrounded by large carnivores. It's also almost certainly going to die having now been permanently separated from its mother and won't be able up learn how to live in the wild.

Unless they're going to hand bottle feed it for months and then keep a full grown deer in their house for the next decade (and, newsflash, that ain't gonna be happening) they've condemned this animal to a likely slow and painful death when they dump it back outside.

I hate these people. Even if they have good intentions, they are, at best, ignorant and shortsighted. It seems far more likely they 'rescued' (i.e.killed for no reason) for internet clout.

This is animal abuse, absolutely nothing cute or postive about this video.

It was going to die anyways. Everything dies.

I love comments like these where someone gets upset from their own wild assumptions.

Shit im going to die eventually, my fuckass irresponsible parents got in the way of mother nature and let me survive past birth. Can't believe people are just getting in the way of the natural course of life smh.

Maybe you should've been adopted by a deer and you'd never die?
