That's horrible. I can't imagine raising a hand to this, or any other, small creature.

It wasn't self defense. I've actually worked with fawns. Now if she had to bludgeon the mom, I'd agree it was self defense, because a mother deer might charge if you were standing over its fawn. But you'd probably be knocked on your teakettle so fast you wouldn't know what hit you.


I'm thinking, maybe this

Self-defense against a 25 lb. fawn?

Lost her marbles. Not self defense. "Giving"? "Loving"? Hah! She sounds like she's about giving and loving as Lizzie Borden with her forty whacks.

My god, what danger could this fawn possibly have been to her? (can't watch the video)


Deer are timid. If you feel afraid of one, move away from it or shout and it'll run away.

I can't watch video on my comp, but I read the story.

For some reason, the video wouldn't play...but I can't imagine any circumstances where a fawn would be a danger to anyone!
