It looks like this deer is in a bit of a "wire" situation!
Residents in Okotoks recently spotted a deer in distress at Beatrice Windham Park, its neck tangled in what appeared to be a tomato cage. The incident occurred on Tuesday, September 1st, in the evening.
According to Alberta Public Safety and Emergency Services, this is not an uncommon occurrence. Deer often feed on plants supported by tomato cages, which can lead to entanglement.
Fortunately, the deer’s mobility is not affected, and wildlife officers have deemed it not necessary to intervene. Instead, they will continue to monitor the situation.
Experts note that in most cases, deer are able to free themselves from this type of wire within a few days without issue.
