Doe killing a fawn

[optic2]

My mother in law saw a doe kill a fawn by stomping on it. I know does kick fawns when they want them to go off on their own. But this doe stomped and kicked the fawn until it was dead. What causes this?

Did she know if it was her fawn or another Doe's? I have a Doe at my house that is a mean B&^%th and is constantly kicking other Deer around food but I don't even think she would do that

It's possible the fawn has some kind of deformation or was sick. It's also possible the fawn wouldn't get out of bed and talked back to her mother when she should've just been a good fawn and did what she was told. I used to have five brothers and sisters. Now I have four. Don't talk back to mom.

Animals kill each other all of the time.   From Humans to rodents...

I once watched a herd of elk in the toutle area kick and stomp at one smaller cow elk that had very bad hoof rot compared to the rest. I’d guess some type of sickness or something that may attract predators?

Who knows what triggers certain instincts in animals, I have seen some crazy things over the years, probably  the most ruthless being turkeys

I can't tell you how many times I've responded to "How can you shoot a beautiful deer?" with "I only shoot ugly deer".  The looks and reactions are priceless.
