TACOMA, Wash. -- The police log entry said it all: "Deceased fawn was dressed up like an infant and abandoned at the Pantages" Theater. Why would anyone dress up a dead newborn deer, lay it in a basket and leave it outside an ornate downtown landmark?

"Your guess is as good as mine," said Tom Sayre, a spokesman of The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County.

The outfit included an infant sleeper and a bib that read, "You think I'm cute? You should see my aunt," Sayre added.

An officer found the fawn Tuesday night, said police spokesman Mark Fulghum.

It was unclear how the animal died but the odor indicated it had been dead for awhile, he said.

A Humane Society vet thought it might have been stillborn.

"It's just bizarre," Fulghum said.

Indeed.

I think it's kinda funny...hope they didn't actually kill the fawn though

It sounds like a teenage prank... a strange one.

Now this is the bit that intrigues me, and points to the possibility that it wasnt a sick joke and may just be the product of a "sick" mind.

some wierd "artists" out there
showing relationship between humans and animals? death to one is death to all? nature aborts?
time better spent giving free hugs imo

the poor fawn this is so sad

I'm thinking illegal substances influenced this.
