As I suspected. The incient was caused by irresponsible pet owners and folks totally ignorant about wild animals.

The dog was not "where it belonged"- which was confined to the owner's property or on a leash ifd it was off the property.

The cat was allowed to roam freely- also not where it "belonged".

Then there's the idiots behind the camera who thouight it was "cute" to watch the cat mess with a wild animal instead of shooing the cat off and staying the hell away from the fawn themselves. They ARE lucky the didn't get hurt due to their stupidity.

Since it appears that dogs are allowed to roam freely in Cranbrook, I'm sure that doe has been chased by dogs more than once in its life which - in addition to the presence of the fawn - might explain her antipathy toward canids.

I also note from maps & satellite photos that Cranbrook has a number of large parks and golf courses, and is surrounded by wooded areas and a whole raft of Provincial Parks ans National Forest. So why should it be unusual to see an occasional deer?

Back to idiots for a minute: I'm sure that there are folks in that neighborhood who feed the deer because they think they're "cute". Too many deer in suburban Cranbrook? Take it up with them.

I'm rooting for the deer.
