Pumpkin Head Alert: Hazard to Wildlife!

HAZARD TO WILDLIFE! Westlake Police have responded to several calls of deer with plastic decorative pumpkins stuck on their faces over the last few days.

These are pics taken by 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 of course want nothing to do with officers approaching them. Please check your yards for these hazards and at least remove the plastic handle which tends to wrap around the deer’s head causing the issue.
