The Short you linked — “A lost deer #lovestory #animals #wildliferescue…” from the channel Paws & Hearts — is very likely AI-generated or heavily staged, not a real wildlife rescue.
Here’s why:
1. The channel pattern
The channel posts hundreds of nearly identical “animal rescue story” Shorts with different animals (deer, jaguar, kangaroo, owl, etc.). �
This type of high-volume output is typical of AI-generated storytelling channels that reuse templates.
YouTubers.me
2. Unrealistic wildlife behavior
Most of these videos show things that are extremely unlikely in real wildlife situations, such as:
Wild deer calmly approaching strangers
Animals behaving like trained pets
Perfectly timed “emotional” moments
Wild deer are very skittish and rarely interact with humans this way.
3. Script-style narration
These Shorts often use:
AI voice narration
Dramatic storytelling (“the deer came back with its family to say thank you” type endings)
That’s a hallmark of AI storytelling videos, not documentary footage.
4. Same format across many viral Shorts
There are many similar viral Shorts with titles like:
“Rescue a bear cub”
“Rescuing a baby kangaroo”
“Saving a leopard cub”
All using the same #lovestory + rescue narrative format. �
YouTubers.me Bottom line:
The clip may contain real stock footage of a deer, but
The story and scenario are almost certainly AI-written or fabricated. If you want, I can also show you 3 quick visual clues in that exact Short that give away AI/staged wildlife videos. Once you see them, you’ll spot these fake animal rescue videos instantly.

Facebook is full of these click baits.After awhile they jump out and are pretty easily identified.

Is it a clue when the foster mom changes from Asian to White or is it just the magic that animals bring?
... In Monrovia, this bear was not just “a bear.” She was part of the neighborhood’s rhythm. Residents tracked sightings, shared updates, and saw her as one of the familiar wild lives that shaped the foothill community. Reports described public outcry, disappointment from local officials, and neighbors mourning what felt like the loss of a local presence they had learned to coexist with, even imperfectly.
That grief feels especially heavy because two truths can exist at once: human safety matters, and people can still be devastated by the loss of an animal they believed was acting out of instinct, not malice. In a place where wildlife and neighborhoods overlap more and more, stories like this force communities to sit inside that uncomfortable space. And sometimes there is no ending that feels fully right, only one that leaves people wishing the system had offered a different path.
This story is a painful reminder that living near wildlife requires more than affection for the animals we share space with. It takes education, secured trash, careful pet management, awareness on walks, and real community planning before a crisis happens. The City of Monrovia said the cubs are healthy and were moved to a facility where they can eventually be returned to wildland areas.
Honestly, that mama bear was just trying to raise her babies, and her story became a heartbreaking reminder of how hard it can be when wildlife and human lives collide.
Why wasn't Monrovia Mama Bear returned to a wildland area along with her cubs?

Fwiw, the article doesn't say anything about the family being fed by humans. It's POSSIBLE that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the neighbors were strict about making sure that didn't happen.

I'm sure the town enjoyed their mascot bear, but the best thing for her would've been to get her out of there long ago.
Relocation is rarely successful for food-conditioned bears. They possess a strong homing instinct and often return to the original food source or cause problems elsewhere. Since the bear’s conditioning is behavioral and difficult to reverse safely, wildlife management mandates lethal removal, or euthanasia, as the final resort. The bear is destroyed because its human-induced behavior makes it an unacceptable public safety hazard.
I edited while you were researching and composing. Returning hundreds of miles to Monrovia or traveling scores of miles to other humans MAY not have been a strategy this mom with two cubs would have chosen.

Either getting fed or getting into garbage. They could hardly monitor her 24/7 if they were monitoring her at all.
I can't say from the article, but a 'Bear Aware' neighborhood would protect its garbage. Of course, there are other things like fruit trees, Whack9's groundhog, gardens, grasses, tasty plantings, deer, roadkill and other things that aren't technically "fed" to the bear.
The safety of a suburban 'hood may have been as important to Mama as any unnatural food sources were.

If those pics are at all accurate that bear was totally acclimated to people and had no fear. And as the articles said, they are very industrious about food sources, including opening car doors.
It's becoming a much bigger problem in your neck of the woods too.

The pics from the article and your 6 year old slideshow are identical except that the article never says they're 6 years old. Neither IDs them as being Monrovia Mama Bear . The article never calls her "big and fat", but maybe you saw that elsewhere?
We can hope that neighborhood education, at least with food in unlocked cars, has improved since that bruiser was roaming around, but .
