A family in Louisiana is upset after state wildlife agents confiscated a blind deer they’d nursed back to health, issuing the family a stiff fine and ultimately killing the deer in state custody.
“This fresh fawn found its way into the Sibley family seven years ago, the baby deer blind and abandoned by its mother in Baton Rouge,” explained WAFB.
The deer, named “Little Buck,” was free to come and go as it pleased on and off the Sibleys’ property, and it eventually grew into a large buck.

All was good for nearly a decade, but last December an anonymous complaint was lodged with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF), whose agents visited the property, arguing the Sibleys were in violation of the state’s wildlife rehabilitation program, which does not allow rehabilitating fawns or keeping deer as pets.
Agents shot tranquilizer darts at “Little Buck” while he laid calmly in his bedding, then issued the Sibleys a citation “for possessing a quadruped” and a fine of $1,600.
“I mean my sons in tears, you know?” described Jaci Sibley. “I got him off the couch from watching cartoons right before our family Christmas party to come tell his deer, ‘Bye.'”
Little Buck was euthanized later that day.
State Representative Lauren Ventrella (R-District 65) successfully sponsored a resolution in 2024 exempting several animals, including squirrels, skunks, possums, raccoons, rabbits and chipmunks, from the rehabilitation program.
While the resolution did not exempt deer, Rep. Ventrella argued the situation appeared to be a case of government overreach, especially considering Little Buck could travel freely on and off the Sibley’s property.
“It comes down to a matter of common sense, right? If this deer is free to come and go as it pleases, is that really even possessing wildlife in the first place?” she asked KPLC, adding she plans to support an amendment adding deer to the exemption list.
As for the charges, the state ultimately declined to prosecute the Sibleys and rescinded the fine.
The LDWF added no one should touch fawns or raise deer without the proper permits.
Meanwhile, the Sibleys are upset at the loss of their free-roaming pet, especially since Louisiana State University has been allowed to keep tigers, the school’s mascot, in concrete enclosures.
“And we parade this tiger at games and all the things, all for public enjoyment…But I’m wrong for having a blind deer that had a need and we continued to provide it,” argued Sibley.
The story has stoked strong criticism online against the state wildlife agency’s actions, with some harkening back to the story of Peanut the Squirrel, whose family recently launched a $10 million lawsuit after New York state authorities confiscated Peanut from their home and euthanized him.
Maybe we should look into why so many sociopaths are employed by the government.

The government thinks they own everything, all the land, all the animals, your kids, you, everything. We have to knock the government down a few notches and put them in their place

Imagine being such an insufferable cunt, ya report a deer who roams freely to the state. Who only shows up to dart and maim the little guy.

Ugh.
Little Buck didn't need to be euthanized over this.
Who is the white liberal Karen that complained to the government about the pet deer 🤔

Our government has gotten far to cocky. They seem to think they can get away with anything. They seem to think they own everything. I pray that someday, the majority of us wake up simultaneously & say enough is enough. We, the people, need to end this tyranny once and for all.
