Invasion Of The Dressed Up Dead Fawns
Hey, don't blame us for the headline of the post. Blame the Animal Uprising™ for attempting to slip a fawn disguised as a baby into a theater. The fawn, however, died.
TACOMA, Wash. - The police log entry said it all: "Deceased fawn was dressed up like an infant and abandoned at the Pantages" Theater. Why would anyone dress up a dead newborn deer, lay it in a basket and leave it outside an ornate downtown landmark?
"Your guess is as good as mine," said Tom Sayre, a spokesman of The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County.
The outfit included an infant sleeper and a bib that read, "You think I'm cute? You should see my aunt," Sayre added.
The fawn had apparently been dead for a while. Now we here at Blue Crab Boulevard are blaming this on the evil animal overlords, but it may actually be human enablers:
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. — For the past several weeks, drivers near Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville have been noticing odd things about some of the roadkill on the sides of the area’s highways.
Some of the dead possums and raccoons have been dressed in pet or human baby clothes and have had their claws painted with nail polish. The carcass of a deer has been adorned with gold paint.
The culprit is SIU-Edwardsville graduate art student Jessica May, 24, of West Lafayette, Ind.
In an interview with the Belleville News-Democrat, May said she is not an animal rights activist; she is just interested in seeing if people would give more thought to the animals if they were somehow given human attributes.
We're just guessing here, but the thoughts people are giving when they see Ms May's "art" probably are not for the animal. The thoughts are probably more for the "artist". And they probably aren't civil.

The classier vampires are known to have human helpers. Coincidence? I think not.
