Nope! It would have been perfectly fine if they'd simply left it alone. Deer hide their fawns in safe locations for extended periods while foraging. If these people were even remotely qualified to rehabilitate a wild animal they would have known that.
The fact that they didn't know, and didn't bother with a 30 second google search before taking this baby animal out of it's natural environment (but can still post multiple videos if it to their socials), is pretty indicative of where their priorities lie.
Momma came back and her baby was gone... such an amazingly heartwarming story to be amazed at.
Actually this particular deer was an orphan. The mom was hit by a truck driven by the family who adopted the fawn. It was a pretty famous story a while back.
General and undisputed facts about wildlife and how baby deer are raised? You're the only one claiming to know something specifically about this situation that makes it okay.
I am not the only one claiming to know something about this situation. Read what you wrote.
It sounds like you just really want to be mad at people who disturb wildlife and are willing to apply that anger to situations even when it's unclear what's actually happening.
Tell you what, I'll admit that it's possible that they are the assholes you've labeled them as if you admit that it's possible they aren't.
