CHICAGO - A young deer wandering Saint Casimir Catholic Cemetery in Chicago’s Mount Greenwood neighborhood became the focus of a heartfelt rescue effort this week after neighbors noticed it had a clear plastic container stuck on its head.
Residents, determined to help, shared sightings of the deer and worked to bring relief.
Jamie Stahulak, who spent hours trying to assist, recounted her close encounters.
"I was able to get one hand on the bucket yesterday three different times, but as soon as I bring the second hand around, he jumps away," she said.
On Friday afternoon, Cook County Animal Control joined the effort, deploying a drone to survey the area. However, officials believe the deer may have managed to free itself.
In a statement, Chicago Animal Care and Control said Illinois Conservation Police had "accounted for all the yearlings in the two deer herds at the cemetery, and none were found in distress. All agencies are confident that the deer likely removed the container on its own."
Late Friday night, a local resident was seen walking west on 111th St., in the vicinity of a liquor dispensary establishment, with a bucket on their head.
