You won't believe what happened in Manitowoc
Green Bay on the wire — cold hands, warm hearts, and Lombardis.
Yeah, so, I saw something roll across the wire this morning that just kinda made me say "ope," you know? You hear about a lot of stuff, but this one from down in Manitowoc County? It's just wild. Apparently, there's security footage making the rounds that shows a driver, plain as day, repeatedly running over an injured deer. Not once, not twice, but *repeatedly*. The community down there is, understandably, pretty outraged by it, which is wild.
So here's the deal: this wasn't some accident where someone hit a deer and then it was over. This was a sustained, intentional act against an animal that was already hurt. I mean, we're from Wisconsin; we see deer. We know sometimes they get hit, especially on roads like Highway 29 or even just around the edges of town near the Fox River Trail. It's sad, but it happens. But to go out of your way to do something like this? That’s just… it’s not right. It makes you wonder what in the heck was going through that person's head.
### Why This Hits Home
For us up here in Green Bay, and all over Wisconsin, hunting and wildlife are a huge part of our culture. Deer season is practically a state holiday, you betcha. We respect the animals, even when they're a nuisance in the garden. This kind of cruelty just flies in the face of everything we stand for. It’s the kind of thing that gets people talking over their Friday fish fry at Hagemeister Park, or while they're picking up a Kringle for the office. It's a small-town thing, really, where an act like this just feels like a punch to the gut of the community.
* **Local outrage:** The folks in Manitowoc are genuinely upset, and you can understand why. * **Wildlife respect:** It highlights the deep respect most Wisconsinites have for nature. * **Community standards:** It shows what we, as a community, consider acceptable behavior — and this ain't it.
It’s a tough one to stomach, for sure. When something like this happens in a nearby community, it reverberates. It reminds you that even in our quiet, friendly towns, there are some pretty baffling things that can go down.
