Costs in deer case: $40,000 -- so far - OregonLive.com
Keeping domestic deer is illegal in Oregon. A couple's country property was recently raided by police and 2 deer that were injured and nursed back to health were seized. By all accounts the deer were happy and loved. Now an ensuing legal battle over the deer. The public finds the government's action absurd. Now the costs are starting to come in.
Why is this problem, which is not a problem, a problem for us? We have chosen to live under a legal system in which more and more of our lives are scrutinized under law. Can anyone do anything anymore without at least a remote possibility of being sued? The merits to that system are obvious, but it comes at the price of common-sense.
