CONSERVATION CORNER
Year after year fawn deer born in
the wilds are stolen by people who
think they have a right to do so.
Their reason for stealing the deer is
always the same—"I saw the deer
lying helpless, wet and hungry. I
knew it was hungry because it con-
tinued to bleat while I waited for the
mother to return."
How many of us realize that a
mother will never return while man is
near her young? The mothers often
leave their young for hours at a time
before returning. Let us not forget
the mother deer requires food and
may have to travel a considerable
distance for her food supply.
Picture the mother deer returning
to feed her young, expecting them to
he at the spot she so carefully chose. •
Surely her heart beat must quicken ,
to find her young gone. She immedi-
ately starts a fruitless search for days
on end, ever hoping that in some way
she may again be bleSSed with her
fami'y. In many ways wildlife give
their young better care than we
humans' prefess to give our own
children.
When deer are picked up in this
manner the Department immediately
seizes them and they are taken to
large ,enclosures for their protection.
We are at present holding three fawn
on the 'farm of Irwin Fromm, Hes-
peler Highway, who so kindly cares
for them until they are taken to
Kapuskasing where deer are scarce.
