Doe, no! Deer keep getting their heads stuck in plastic Halloween pumpkin buckets in Ohio neighborhood
Oh, deer!
A bunch of wild deer fawning over Halloween decorations are getting their heads trapped in plastic jack-o’-lantern treat buckets in an Ohio neighborhood, waggish photos show.
The Westlake Police Department shared photos of a few deer with their faces stuck in the decorative pumpkins, urging the public to remove any potentially hazardous décor from their yards that could “wrap around the deer’s head.”
“WPD has responded to several calls of deer with plastic decorative pumpkins stuck on their faces over the last few days,” the department said in a Facebook post Monday.
“These are pics taken by our officers as they tried to get close enough to the wildlife to give them a hand. Yes, we respond to all calls where a WPD employee may be able to help the community.”
The deer ran away before police could render assistance, leaving them trotting through the woods and neighborhood with the plastic gourd covering their snout.
Residents are encouraged to sweep their yards of any dangerous items and to remove the handles of any plastic jack-o’-lanterns, according to police.
