A family is Oregon is suing the Oregon Department of Fish and Game to regain custody of a deer. The deer is deformed and was founds by the family on the side of the road 5 years ago. They affectionately named it Snowball.

Snowball and her offspring Bucky, were taken from the family last month because deer can not be owned by people in the state. Bucky was let go into the wild, where later this year he can be shot by a half drunk man hiding in a tree with a high powered rifle. Congrats Bucky!

Snowball will be taken to an Elk preserve where she  will be protected and and receive the care she needs with her disability.  The ranch is delighted to receive Snowball.

The family seeks to sue for custody because they feel they can better care for the deer. Their attorney says its an odd deal because while the state owns the deer, its held in a commercial interest where people will benefit from the deer by generating an income.
