Police Corner Downtown Deer that may have come Down the Don Valley from Dunlop Observatory
Ontario Toronto : The animal was captured late Tuesday morning and authorities say it will be fine.
http://www.yorkregion.com/article/99110"The northeast field was the resident deer herd's primary grazing area. It is now totally gone. This means the deer will have to forage further afield and in all probability leave the safety and security of the fenced Dunlap lands - they are now at extreme risk of starvation over the winter months," Ms Cilevitz said.
"In all probability, deer will venture out onto the surrounding roads, which means they are now also at extreme risk of accidental death by travelling vehicles," she added, resulting in higher risks for drivers, as well.
