Google hates animals and loves guns!
This may be old news, but I recently just came across it. Google posted this response to the matter. I’ve posted the man with a gun below, but if you want to see what happened to the deer I will link to it, just in case you don’t want to see it. (Google did say, that the deer did walk away after the incident.) [Post from ValleyWag]
