I think you missed the point. The deer was doomed. Barney Fife shows up and wants to have his brother or my son discharge a firearm in a subdivision. We gun owners, having more common sense than some, opt for a bow. No noise, very little chance of harming anyone.
We were reactive. We didn't call the cops, they called us. The cop was already on patrol. The cost for such calls is already factored in for patrol expense ergo, no real incremental expense. The deer was butchered at no cost to tax payer and the meat was consumed. Personally, I thought the chili needed more salt.
The humor comes from what thes in New Jersey spent on saving the deer. Deer are currently over populated which makes it even more cruel as more have to share the same bounty. If it had been a human with an arrow in its mouth then, by all means, call Kojack and emergency 51 pronto.
If not, clip the damn deer and save the taxpayers money. But, then again, when you are addicted to the Sandy Bail Out Plan, why bother, right?
