Locally known white deer killed in Michigan's Lake County -- and people are outraged


(Detroit Free Press) State conservation officials are trying to track down who killed an albino deer that was found Sunday in Irons in Lake County.

Michigan Department of Natural Resources officials said this week in a Facebook post that the deer was shot with a crossbow out of season, likely from a road, between 5 p,m. and 7 p.m. and was found at the edge of a resident's yard.

Do something about it I’ve long come to the conclusion..it’s people. People are the problem. Taking aim at an albino in the wilderness should be a big NO. There is nothing sacred to some with weapons. In the wild or on our streets. I hope we find out who this person is. If only to shame.
