Deer wapiti with a tire on the neck

The animal was freed from an unusual “necklace”, the weight of which, together with the accumulated debris, was 16 kg.

In the forests of Colorado, the wapiti deer lived for two years with a car tire around its neck until it was released by state park officials. Information about this appeared on Twitter of the environmental organization.

It is noted that on October 9, the animal was spotted southwest of Denver and caught with a tranquilizer. The male, 4.5 years old and weighing 270 kg, had to saw off his horns to remove the tire.

The park staff wanted to cut the tire itself, but they didn’t have the right tools to cut through the metal frame. The weight of the “necklace” with accumulated debris reached 16 kg.

“We would have preferred to cut the tire and leave the horns for the mating season, but the situation evolved quickly and we just had to remove the tire in any way possible,” said park official Scott Murdoch.

The first sight of a deer with a tire around its neck was in July 2019, when a survey was conducted on populations of bighorn sheep and mountain goats in the Rocky Mountains in the Mount Evans Desert.

We will remind, last year in Canada, electronic boards appeared along the roads with an appeal don’t let moose lick cars.
