Andrea Arnold is used to having to slow down to let deer cross the road in her Northern B.C. community. But this weekend she saw something that made her pull over and snap a photo.
Andrea Arnold is used to having to slow down to let deer cross the road in her Northern B.C. community. But this weekend she saw something that made her pull over and snap a photo.
A deer was wearing a high-visibility safety jacket. Not a vest, a "full-on jacket" that has been zipped up, says Arnold, who lives in McBride and is a reporter for the local paper the Rocky Mountain Goat.
"They're everywhere around town, but this one was wearing high-vis. I did a double, triple take like, 'Wait, what am I actually seeing here?'" Arnold told CTV News.
Since posting photos of the deer in a Facebook group, Arnold says she's received a lot of entertaining comments in response – but no information about how the deer ended up in the jacket or who may be responsible.
"People do feed the deer in town, which is a public nuisance and safety concern. So far, nobody's been able to truly stop that, but the idea that somebody has tamed one enough in order to (do this). I mean, I put clothes on my dog. She fights me, and she trusts me," Arnold says.
Sgt. Eamonn McArthur with the B.C. Conservation Officer Service says he's hoping to get more information from people in McBride about the deer so he can figure out the best way to proceed.
