having a pet deer is illegal without the proper permits and enclosure but I dont understand why it could not have been relocated to a safe place instead of killed

There was some concern for CWD, so shooting it was a good call. I wouldn't be surprised if they told the family all of this and gave them time to go inside or leave the property before they shot it as well.

If the deer was a problem I can sort of see the point. If it never caused harm to anything and they put it down, that's bullshite.
I'm an avid hunter and fisherman and I eat all sorts of game. I've also rescued numerous injured animals like a baby alligator that had been shot, a hawk that had been hit by a vehicle, squirrels and raccoons. When you take in a wounded or abandoned animal you develop a bond and trust. That Adult Hawk I took in and bandaged his wing was mean as hell when I picked him up. Over a 2 month period I gained his trust and I could feed him by hand and he would perch on my hand (with a pair of welding gloves). Even after I released him, he hung around for a couple of years. As far as a legality issue, we all have broke a law at some point in time in our life rather we meant to or not and if I'm helping save a life even though some deem it against the law...so be it. Read an article this morning about people being arrested for feeding the homeless. We as a society have so far to go as far as actually appreciating life as a whole.

I would imagine that just about everyone on this forum has done this sort of thing in one way or another. However, there's a big difference between nursing an injured animal and continuing to treat a wild deer as a pet. It's amazing that the deer wasn't already shot by hunters. Wild animals should eventually be released and encouraged to remain wild (even if they "don't like high winds").
