Family face jail for having a pet antelope

A Greeley family faces hefty fines and possible jail time for turning a young antelope buck into a house pet.

The family named the 3-month-old pronghorn antelope "Poudre."



Wildlife officials believe Poudre was taken from Wyoming illegally and brought to Greeley.

They believe Poudre has been raised with a dog and is now completely tame.

Poudre was taken to a rehabilitation facility in hopes it could someday be released back into the wild.
