My favourite part is the quote from the Conservation Officer:

He said people should not approach wild deer — nor put clothes on them.

"I didn't think I'd have to specify that one," he said. "Usually they're pretty quick."

It's a pet. It's not that uncommon in my area. Someone found a fawn without a mother, took it in and cared for it, and because it's tame and won't avoid humans and human infrastructure, the owners have to take extra steps to ensure it's and others safety. Something with high vis is what I've seen most often. Usually paint on the antlers.
