Correction: South Metro Fire Personnel removes deer from Lake Winnebago
Posted by GSDispatch Editor in by Community Residents, Featured, GSD Online
Helicopters overhead this morning — the news summarized it as a water rescue, but a poor deer was stranded on the ice in the middle of Lake Winnebago. The deer tried several times to get up and move but it was hurt too badly; although no details on how it had been hurt. South Metro Fire Personnel was called and they crossed the ice to retrieve the deer. Unfortunately, the deer was suffering, so after pulling the it to the side of the lake, Lake Winnebago police shot the deer to put it out of its misery.
