QUAKERTOWN, Pa., March 15 (UPI) -- A man living in the Philadelphia suburbs got a call at work Wednesday to tell him a deer had trashed his house.
Pete Lazar of Quakertown told WPVI-TV, Philadelphia, he thought "someone was messing around" with him until he got home and saw police and animal control officers at his house. Then he got a look inside.
"Broken glass, destroyed carpet; destroyed everywhere," Lazar said. "It was not as bad as it could have been, but it was bad enough."
A neighbor, Marie Strecker, said the deer, a year-old doe, had been wandering the neighborhood and then seemed to panic. The animal jumped through a plate glass window.
Police and Game Commission officers found the deer inside, bleeding and clearly severely injured. It was put down.
