Summary

A mule deer in McBride, British Columbia, was spotted wearing a zipped high-visibility jacket, baffling residents and conservationists.

Locals are unsure how or why the deer was dressed, with some speculating safety motives while others worry about potential harm.

Conservation officers are trying to locate the deer but caution that sedating it poses risks, including fatal stress.

They hope the jacket falls off naturally and warn against dressing wildlife, which is illegal under provincial law.
