Animal advocates are hailing the signing of a bill aimed at protecting Louisiana white-tailed deer. Humane Society of Louisiana Director Jeff Dorson says House Bill 1248 was spawned by a pair of high-profile incidents, in which LDWF agents seized deer from those caring for them and killed them.
“The nation was horrified. That’s not what they want to see in the paper or on tv; little deer being killed that were taken in by good Samaritans,” Dorson said.
