A video showing a 21-year-old hunter petting a shot deer while calling it a “good boy' has sparked calls for animal cruelty charges against the Vermont hunter.
Cell phone video that a game warden said showed a hunter petting an illegally shot and injured deer, and saying 'good boy' before killing the animal, has raised calls from wildlife advocates for animal cruelty charges. But Vermont’s animal cruelty law does not apply to activities regulated by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, including hunting and trapping, officials said.
In most states animal cruelty regarding hunting is regulated through hunting rules about legal weapons, calibers, hours and seasons, so that hunters do not use methods that could be inhumane or ineffective, said Lindsay Thomas Jr., chief communications officer for the National Deer Alliance. He said he believes many state wildlife enforcement agencies still have the ability to bring charges, or work with state police to bring charges, in cases such as cruelty to a deer.
The hunter could not be reached for comment. His cell phone rang unanswered and didn’t have a voice message box. Galdenzi called the case 'egregious,' including how the hunter mentioned to the warden that he was upset with his ex-girlfriend and 'it seems that he was taking out his frustrations on an animal,' she said.
