Deer Get Heads Stuck in Plastic Halloween Pumpkins, Officials Warn Against Hazardous Decorations

Halloween is a fun time for kids and adults alike, but it's important to be aware of the potential hazards that can come with the holiday.

One of the most common Halloween hazards is deer getting their heads stuck in plastic pumpkins.

These pumpkins are often made of thin, flimsy plastic, which can easily tear and get caught on a deer's antlers.

Once a deer's head is stuck, it can be very difficult to remove, and the deer can suffer serious injuries or even death.

In recent years, there have been several reports of deer getting their heads stuck in plastic pumpkins, including one case in which a deer had to be euthanized because its head was so badly injured.

Officials are now warning people to be aware of the dangers of plastic pumpkins and to take steps to prevent deer from getting their heads stuck.

One way to prevent deer from getting their heads stuck in plastic pumpkins is to use real pumpkins instead.

Real pumpkins are much more durable than plastic pumpkins and are less likely to tear.

If you do use plastic pumpkins, be sure to choose ones that are made of thick, durable plastic and that have no sharp edges.

You should also place the pumpkins in a safe location where deer are less likely to find them.

If you see a deer with its head stuck in a pumpkin, do not attempt to remove the pumpkin yourself.

Instead, call your local wildlife authorities for assistance.

Here are some additional tips to keep deer safe during Halloween:

• Keep all Halloween decorations out of reach of deer.
• Do not leave food or candy outside where deer can get to it.
• Be aware of deer when driving, especially at night.
• If you see a deer, slow down and give it plenty of room to pass.

By following these tips, you can help keep deer safe and prevent them from getting injured or killed during Halloween.
