Shorthair, it is true. I saw it with my own eyes. The deer was not house trained, they had to clean up after it all the time. But it did go in and out of the house when it wanted to. I agree that it should have been let go once it was weaned. There are many people that have kept deer as pets for various periods of time. Ask around. I bet in your area you will hear of at least one story of someone keeping a deer.
