I do not support keeping wild animals as pets, but this was [a] special situation.

And she was soon left behind by her mother and brotherbecause she couldn’t keep up with them.

With so many predators around, she had no chance to survive on her own...

He showed footage of bears and wolves lurking around his domain who would have seen the fawn as an easy target.So he decided to bring her home where he introduced her to his own pets.He even made her a makeshift crutch using oatmeal packaging and fed her milk from a bottle every four hours.
