It was the summer of 2012 when I first saw him. I was used to the wild horses and the Assateague wildlife because I had been exposed to them since I was 4 years old. But, when I saw Kevin the deer he was much more than the average Sika deer. I'm not the only one that feels as if he is more of a family pet than a wild animal, many families know his name and have an attachment to him and look forward to seeing him every year. If you were to meet him you would feel the same way. Hunting him down during the Assateague hunting season is wrong! He is exposed to people all summer and is an easy target to any hunter. He brings a lot of happiness to many families over the summer and is more than a dinner. He is family, not food. Please sign and save the coolest deer alive.
