Media Release - Animal in Distress

File 2023-11124

At approximately 6:45 a.m. on Monday, April 3, a member of the public contacted police regarding an injured deer in distress just past the area of 15^th Street East and 15^th Avenue East, within city limits.

Upon arrival, officers located a young deer that was unable to walk due to severe leg injuries. Out of concern for its welfare, officers used a firearm to euthanize the deer that was in distress.

Deer are typically most active in the early morning hours and around dusk each day. Anyone who encounters an injured animal in distress can also contact Saskatchewan Environment at 1-800-667-7561 or the Prince Albert Police Service at 306-953-4222.
