Poor little deer

15 years ago

This story was on the news last night. Lot's of people are out looking for this young deer with a plastic pumpkin stuck over it's head. The animal warden is assuming the poor little deer hasn't been able to eat or drink anything since Halloween. The problem is, it's too young to tranquilize. Say a prayer that they can find it today and remove the pumpkin.

Dear Jenny,

This is so sad it breaks my heart. I am praying. Thanks for the link.

Thanks Lisa:

They still hadn't found the deer as of 6 p.m. last night. The animal warden hopes to at least find the pumpkin. Then he would know the deer is OK.

Hopefully the plastic will break. Poor little thing.
