NC Wildlife Officers Seize and Destroy Illegal Captive Deer

Home > NC Wildlife Officers Seize and Destroy Illegal Captive Deer

North Carolina Wildlife officers armed with a search warrant went on to a farm in Randolph County looking for illegal captive deer and found some. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been around for a while and once it crossed over the Mississippi River and got into eastern part of the United States game agencies got real serious about trying to slow the spread. North Carolina like many states put into place strict rules about deer farming, transporting deer both dead and alive, to hopefully prevent CWD from showing up here.

I find it hard to believe anyone that has deer or cares about them as much as Wayne Kindley,(the farmer) seems to, did not know about the regulations around keeping them in captivity. Anyone that has done any reading in the field of rehabbing deer should of come across the topic of CWD.
The rules we have in place are to protect the natural resources as well as the citizens of this state NCWRC had no choice but to put these deer down. Since NC adopted these rules back in 2002 initially CWD has spread to West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland.

Will continue to follow this story as it progress but with what has been presented so far it seems NCWRC acted appropriately. I’d be curious to know where the 2 whitetails came from that he had clearly there could not be any misunderstanding on that because you have to be a state certified to rehab deer and a check of the list doesn’t show that he is on the list.

To me, if you have livestock of any kind, whether it be domestic or captured/bred traditional wildlife, your guidance should be from the various departments of agriculture. local, state, and federal, if you are raising those animals for slaughter, etc, they are subject to the inspections of those agencies, or should be. Enough of the finger pointing about where CWD started and how it’s being spread. The same goes for ‘pet’ wildlife that some seem to become attached to. The fields of pet care are pointed towards domesticated animals, with a strict set of rules of how they must be kept (vaccinations, etc). If the same strict rules as pertain to true domesticated species is kept, then this guy probably would not have had those deer. If he was a ‘true’ livestock farmer, he would have checked the laws, rules, and regulations (again, local, state, and federal) BEFORE he obtained them. The game commission was righteous when it put the animals down, hopefully they disposed of the carcasses in an appropriate manner. It is exactly the proceedures that would be used with cattle infected with say, hoof and mouth disease. Ignorance is no excuse or reason to do anything like that. Again, he should have researched the requirements to have those animals.

Mr. Armstroung, If that is truely your name?
You mentioned ignorance in your comment concerning the deer killings. I presume that you would consider lack of knowledge as the main form of ignorance. That being so , I must say that you are not too bright yourself and should have done your homework prior to getting hoof in mouth disease.
Number one is the fact that wildlife flat out lied when Gorden Myers put on the one act play titiled CWD diseaster avoided when test results came back negitive.Give us a break from these dramatics, seven of the deer on the Kindly farm were fallow deer which have been removed from the list of animals that can contract CWD.
Number two is that wildlife’s own regulations state that when cervid’s have been on the same farm for a period of five years or more they are considered CWD free.
Number three is that Mr Kindly stated that he had the fallows prior to 2002 and if this is true he did not need a permit from wildlife or anyone else because North Carolina State University in conjuction with NCWD and NCAD issued a directive stating that you could raise fallow deer on your farm but could not raise any native wild animal without a permit from NCWD. I have a copy of the directive on file.
North Carolina Wildlife officials have contracted a rare disease which has rendered them ibcapable of telling the truth.

If you and the news reporter would read the many stories you might be able to write an intelligent story and comment.

The NCWRC went into this man’s home with a swat team. Yes, 9 cars and totally blocked off a street not allowing residents to pass on the neighborhood road. Animals were shot down with shot guns in an enclosed 2 acre fenced in area.

NCWRC did not approach Mr. Kindley by mail or in person concerning the deer. They just showed up and mowed down with shotguns penned animals.

NCWRC has released that none of the 9 deer has CWD according to their test.

One white tail deer was blind and the other deer was a fawn.

NCWRC has only 22 fawn rehabbers in NC. Do you wonder why????? They harass you and make is so difficult to get a license. You can not obtain a permit for deer who can not be released back into the wild

The NCWRC Game Warden had a warrant to search and seize not to kill these innocent animals.

You know if you really want to understand this horrible act by the NCWRC, please go to my fox 8 news. they have been on the story since the beginning. You can also see more information at change.org.
