Summary
A mule deer in McBride, British Columbia, was spotted wearing a zipped high-visibility jacket, baffling residents and conservationists.
Locals are unsure how or why the deer was dressed, with some speculating safety motives while others worry about potential harm.
Conservation officers are trying to locate the deer but caution that sedating it poses risks, including fatal stress.
They hope the jacket falls off naturally and warn against dressing wildlife, which is illegal under provincial law.
I want to know the story behind this law.
It’s also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling
Shut it down boys
Unfortunately, I’m willing to bet that it’s not “you can’t put a jacket on wildlife” as much as it is something generic like “you can’t handle or touch non-domestic animals”
It’s about harassing or disturbing wildlife.
that really is one of those ones that made you think “who made some poor law writer to come up with this??”
