According to police, a dead newborn fawn was discovered abandoned at the Pantages Theater in Tacoma, Washington, wearing a n human infant sleeper and a bib that said, "You think I'm cute? You should see my aunt."

A police officer discovered the cute, yet gruesome, carcass on Tuesday night, and it was clear from the odor that the deer had been dead for some time. A vet from the local humane society said the fawn might have been stillborn.

Police are baffled as to why anyone would dress up a stillborn deer in baby clothes, place it in a basket, and leave it outside a theater that is a local landmark.

"It's just bizarre," said police spokesman Mark Fulghum.

What's up with all the dressing up of dead animals in baby clothes these days?
