US EditionDNR urges people to leave deer fawns alone - Montevideo American News
- In 2025, the Oregon wildlife authorities released a spring advisory cautioning against removing fawns and other young animals from their natural habitats.
- The advisory follows frequent calls about supposedly orphaned animals, but wild young are rarely abandoned and their mothers almost always remain nearby.
- Removing young wildlife disrupts their ability to learn survival skills, poses legal risks, and may expose people and pets to diseases and parasites.
- ODFW cautioned that removing young wildlife from their natural environment can reduce their likelihood of survival, and that unlawfully keeping such animals may result in penalties or the animals being euthanized.
- The advisory encourages people to watch wildlife without interfering, to reach out to authorities if animals appear injured or truly orphaned, and to recognize that natural cycles of life and death are essential for the survival of many species.
