cappie Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 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.

veroni213 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 That happened to one of our lambs once. It got its head and front legs stuck in a five gallon waterbucket. (with the water in it) It was hilarious. Poor lamb though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
