I have always been an animal lover. When it comes to bambis, though, I must say I like them better when they’re not eating our fruit trees and trampling our freshly bloomed flowers to death. That being said, though, I would never wish them harm and had no idea that interfering with deer was a criminal offense. When I checked out the February 2nd installment of the Wall Street Journal Sentiment Tracker, powered by NetBase, on the couple who saved Dani the Deer from coyote-inflicted wounds and the subsequent criminal charges they are facing, I was curious to see the social media response. It was a fairly low response in terms of volume, but an overwhelming 69% were all for saving the animal, while 21% agreed with the charges and 10% cracked jokes. Check out some of the extra jokes:
If you see any elephants tonight, Indiana DNR reminds you: no rescuing. #bambigate
This story mostly caught my eye because my brother’s name is Dani, and you don’t see that spelling too often – but what’d you think?? Let me know in the comments!
