A deer tied to a tire around its neck for two years was saved America, Colorado officials reported Monday (11).

Activists from the state’s Environment Agency discovered the animal in 2019 during a population census in the region’s parks.
From then on, he tried to accompany them with cameras to the rescue. He added, however, that “because of his location, it was difficult to find and get close to him”.
When the deer finally approached, agents used tranquilizers and an automatic saw to cut off the tire and horn so they could release it safely back into the wild.
A team of veterinarians was in full operation who analyzed the deer and certified that the extra weight on its neck did not cause any problems.
