A deer in Michigan got a plastic jack-o'-lantern stuck on its snout, preventing it from eating.
CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Michigan (AP) -- A deer whose head was stuck in a plastic Halloween jack-o'-lantern for nearly a week has freed itself and will be fine, animal rescuers said Saturday.
Two children found a dented, hair-lined plastic pumpkin in their yard Friday night, and other neighbors saw a thin deer running free, The Grand Rapids Press reported. It was rainy Friday, which rescuers think helped the young deer wriggle free.
Rescuers had planned to use a dart gun to tranquilize the yearling, then remove the bucket, meant for collecting candy.
The bucket was stuck on the animal's snout, hanging like a feed bag, preventing it from eating or drinking. It had appeared to be snagged on the buck's ears or horn buds.
Dr. Wendy Swift, a veterinarian, said there was some water residue in the bucket, which probably provided the deer with some water to drink.
"I think this deer will be just fine," Swift said.

awwww the poor darlin. If I saw that I'd of tried sneaking up on it and try to get it off it's head, even if it meant getting the shit kicked out of me. Good thing it finally broke free of it. A week is a long time to go not eating |
