Woman Arrested, Has Pet Deer Confiscated After Officials Say She Kept Animal Illegally

Game wardens could be seen dragging the deer, named Baby, by a rope in a video obtained by a local news outlet.
A Pennsylvania woman was taken into custody after a 2-year-old male deer she claimed as a pet was taken away by authorities alleging she was unlawfully keeping him, multiple local news outlets report.
Tamara Shiery, 64, told CBS News affiliate KDKA-TV she believed she had the proper paperwork to keep the deer, named Baby, as a farm pet. However, while it’s possible in Pennsylvania to legally keep deer that were born in captivity, people cannot legally keep a wild-born deer as a pet, the state Game Commission told KDKA-TV.
Shiery’s neighbors in Bullskin Township, about 48 miles outside of Pittsburgh, told the news outlet they all helped raise Baby after finding him in the wild when he was a few weeks old.
Shiery had given Baby a dog collar, gotten him vaccinated and had him castrated to keep him calm, according to KDKA-TV.
On Tuesday, Shiery was served a search warrant for her property by the Game Commission, and Baby was confiscated. Video obtained by KDKA-TV shows game wardens dragging Baby by a rope as a voice appearing to belong to Shiery can be heard in the background screaming, “You’re hurting him.”
