I think it's safe to say that this story, from our sister newspaper in Hanover, is going to create a firestorm of controversy...

A New Oxford man thought he was saving a fawn when he scooped it up off a road in Maryland and took it home to nurse it back to health after its mother was hit by a car.

William Albert bottle-fed the fawn in his 218 Reba Drive garage and called around to see if any wildlife-rehabilitation centers would take the baby deer.

Albert also called the Pennsylvania Game Commission to help him find a place to send the deer, but when a wildlife officer showed up at his house a short while later, he took the deer and had it killed.

Now, Albert says the officer -- who arrived at the house before Albert did, just 10 minutes after Albert called -- was on his property without his permission or a warrant, and the deer definitely shouldn't have been destroyed.
