The Indianapolis Star reports that the Indiana Department of Natural Resources wants to prosecute Jeff and Jennifer Counceller for taking care of an injured deer that showed up on their doorstep.

Правительство внимательно следит, чтобы добрые дела не оставались безнаказанными. Подумайте, разве возможно нормальное общество, в котором люди просто вот так берут и ухаживают за раненой живностью, без разрешения властей?

So the family did what any decent people would do. They nursed the deer back to health.

A decent person оставил бы олененка на съедение койоту, который его ранил. А так эти decent people оставили койота голодным. Оленей в США слишком много, а волков, которые бы контролировали их численность, слишком мало.

Deer-vehicle accidents resulted in more than $3.8 billion of insurance claims and driver costs in the year ended June 30, according to State Farm Insurance. Such collisions resulted in about 140 human deaths, according to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Как раз сегодня решено это дело закрыть.

Но там обнаружили еще такой забавный твист:

But the DNR has also shown discretion before.

In 2007, the agency declined to discipline two conservation officers who used false addresses to secure cheaper, in-state fishing licenses in Ohio. The agency’s director of law enforcement at the time, Col. Scotty Wilson, said: “We don’t think it was a good practice. But do we feel they went over there and intentionally broke the law? No, I think it might have just been bad judgment.”

One of those who got a break was Travis Wooley, the conservation officer who spent a month in 2012 investigating the Councellers and concluded with a report that now has the Councellers each facing the possibility of 60 days in jail and $500 fines.
