Ucluelet woman fights to keep her pet deer
 

Officials say rescued fawn that loves Elvis can't stay in house, but

Janet Schwartz thinks of Bimbo as her baby. A baby that happens to be a 
five-year-old deer.

But the provincial Environment Ministry says the Ucluelet woman can't 
legally keep wildlife as a pet, and is asking Schwartz to release the 
doe back into the wild � or to an animal-rehabilitation centre.

"I love her and I don't want to lose her," said Schwartz, who lives in 
the bush near Mussel Beach.

Schwartz found Bimbo on the side of the highway five years ago near 
Ucluelet � home to many roaming deer � beside the fawn's dead mother. 
Bimbo has lived with her ever since, along with Schwartz's boyfriend, 
two dogs, a cat and an outdoor goat.

"She's like a real baby. She cuddles up to me all the time, eats the 
same food I eat, stays in my house and sleeps in my bed at night," said 
67-year-old Schwartz.

"She loves to dance. She loves Elvis Presley. I put Elvis Presley on 
and she'll dance. Her back end will sway."

The deer, named after the Gene Autry song "Bimbo," eats whatever 
Schwartz puts in front of her, including berries, bananas, apples, 
potatoes and porridge, as well as some treats.

Ucluelet Mayor Eric Russcher called Schwartz a "very earthy woman, 
maybe a little rough around the edges, but a sweetheart at heart."

He recalls seeing Schwartz driving with Bimbo in her backseat a few 
years ago.

When a local conservation officer was notified of Bimbo's domestication 
a few months ago, Schwartz was told to apply for a wildlife permit. She 
did, but was denied the permit on July 15, said Kim Brunt, a senior 
ministry wildlife biologist.

"They're wild animals and so they don't inherently make good pets. 
There's human safety and disease issues in handling wildlife, 
especially habituated wildlife," he said.

Brunt said the risks include animals turning on their handlers, as well 
as bacterial diseases passed on to humans.

As for Bimbo's diet, which includes processed food: "It's very 
unhealthy," he said. "These animals are ruminants, like a cow. They 
have a four-part stomach that's designed for digesting natural 
vegetation."

Schwartz said she's never gotten sick from Bimbo � who goes to the 
bathroom in a tray lined with newspaper � and has tried releasing her. 
The doe came back bloody, probably from a bear attack, she said.

She wants the ministry to leave her and her baby alone.

Leaving Bimbo "would probably kill her and kill me, emotionally," said 
Schwartz. "If I lost her, I'd probably end up in the hospital with a 
nervous breakdown."

I think the conservation ppl should leave this woman and her pet
alone. If the deer wants to escape it would be fairly easy for it to
jump through the window or bolt out the door. Nice to see stories like
this that shows how ppl and animals can get along until the govt comes
along and makes a mess of it.

Good luck to anyone trying to learn Hebrew. I am looking for a Hebrew-Gregorian calendar in both Hebrew and English lettering.

I am looking for my missing automobile. Left in the care of Low's Tire (Firestone) on King George Hwy which has since gone out of business. A man who claimed to be a tow truck driver named Jerry (sounded Black) called me and said he had it
but when I called him back he denied it. JVD-298 "89 Plymouth Reliant white with red interior. Devellis in lettering on the rear trunk. Contact me by email or the GRC if you are one of those ppl. Am looking for the address of Dave Reynolds and any info about him. He used to run Low's Tires and since he refuses to answer his email lowstire@telus.net I can only assume he is the person who stole my vehicle and the contents in it. I have talked to the new owners and they claim to know nothing.
3P3BK41D9KT921716 is the vin number. Dave Reynolds still has a valid email lowstire@telus.net but refuses to return my inquiries.Any info about this thief is appreciated.

I am also looking for various books and CD's that I have discovered missing. All are marked Greg Carr on the inside cover or somewhere in the CD booklet. $5 reward for each CD and for each book. Will pay $200 for info regarding how they disappeared because I honestly don't know.

u8m854p98su072q3l8chiss3t0lcr0�5fo0@4ax.com is a post of mine about the liar and police agent Gordon Sauck. It has been censored by Google Groups.

Jonathon Gregory and Craig Wong are thieves and liars and smokers.They live at 344 E.Hastings St. They call and lie to Vancouver Police and the Landlord-Tenancy Branch.

Mike Poirier is HA and works at DPS at 817 Denman St. This company is such a bunch of liars that besides stealing from ppl they claim to be 100% Cdn owned on their signs when in fact they are owned by a rich man in Seattle. You anti-semitic types might like to know the man is a Jew. Poirier is a liar and perjurer and he attacks ppl for no reason and then calls Vancouver Police if he loses.
