Did you know you could go to jail for saving an animal’s life? My name is Cammy Lowe, and I run TLC Country Stables in Lawrenceville, NJ. Eight years ago, I found a newborn fawn alone in the woods next to its dead mother. I called every animal rescue I could find, but none would take him in. They told me to leave him in the woods and let nature take its course, but I couldn’t do that. I brought the fawn home, named him Rudy, and created a sanctuary for him at my farm.

For years, I quietly cared for Rudy, giving him a safe and loving home. But last year, someone reported me for keeping a deer, and I’ve spent the past year and a half in and out of court. The case is still ongoing, and the legal bills are piling up. Rudy is no longer with me—he escaped the barn some time ago—but I am still facing the consequences of trying to save his life.

I am asking for your support to help cover by legal fees from my months and months and months and months of meetings and local court sessions regarding Rudy. Every donation, no matter the size, will help. Thank you, again, for your support.
