Delivering baby deer lands man in hot water
MONCTON, N.B.–A man who delivered a baby deer in New Brunswick after watching a truck kill its mother is now under investigation for potentially breaking the law.
[...]
Under New Brunswick law, it is illegal to take an orphaned animal home and care for it without a permit. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, Van-Til could face charges under the Fish and Wildlife Act.
Officials said Van-Til should have called the Department of Natural Resources or the RCMP at the start and let them handle the matter.
