Bloomberg ASPCA FILES SUIT AGAINST PALINTAR FOR ALLEGED USE OF ROBOTIC DEER By Carrie Mibbag and Tyler Webb April 5, 2021, 7:14 AM EDT Suit claims hundreds of AI powered robotic deer were unleashed in Northeast U.S. Bucks observed humping artificially beautified doe's. "Why are they here?" In a move sure to draw praise from animal lovers and privacy advocates everywhere, the New Jersey Chapter of the ASPCA has filed an animal cruelty suit in Connecticut's 2nd District Federal Court today against the mysterious Palintar company of San Jose, Ca. ASPCA spokeswoman Candi Coopang of exit 3 Rt 71 in Monmouth County, NJ told Bloomberg "This company has lost its mind. They are spying on 'work from home' hedge fund managers through their windows, but what they don't realize are these cuddly looking doe's have the potential to shrink our indigenous population of white-tail deer this summer. We don't care for hedge-funds either, but don't bait our bucks with honey-pots". Reports have circulated for months that Palintar has been using robotic deer equipped with GPS, batteries recharged through what appears to be fur but in actuality is fiber optic filament designed to capture sunlight, and ultra-high powered, high definition cameras disguised as those beloved 'doe-eyes' so many welcome strolling across their lawns. According to the SEC, these robotic deer have been unleashed in the upscale suburbs of Connecticut to peer in on analysts and portfolio managers alike that have been forced to work from home due to the Covid-19 pandemic shutting down their usual NYC offices. "They're using them to monitor their PC screens from afar, potentially spotting bloggers etc. that bash their stock" said Sherman Scatmo of the SEC. "While we frown on this type of thing, it's really out of our jurisdiction". Hedge fund managers agree. "My wife was putting out salt blocks for them!" said one Canaford portfolio manager. "Hell I called my ex-brother in law down in Mississippi and invited him and his shotgun up. I can't stand the guy, but someone has to take these deer out. The game commission said call the SEC! Who's in charge here?!" While the Northeastern U.S. has seen a rapid increase in its deer population over the last decade, the ASPCA maintains this is a very serious threat. Asked for comment, Alex Karpy stated his company is a very generous donor to the ASPCA and steadfastly denied all allegations of any questionable activity. "Look, sure we do this kind of thing, but rest assured we take into account the best interest of the deer along with all flora and fauna in the area. Our deer don't eat, so how could they be eating bulb's out of gardens? That's ridiculous". Palantar stock is up 4% on the day.
