Five Deer Leap to Deaths From W.Va. Garage
2 hours, 53 minutes ago
RANSON, W.Va. - Either they misjudged the distance or they couldn't take the traffic. For reasons that mystify authorities, five deer that made their way onto the top of a five-story parking garage suddenly leaped to their deaths Sunday.
Police Cpl. Steve Cox found the does' bodies on a service road to the Charles Town Races & Slots, next to a security van they'd narrowly missed.
"They took the plunge," he said. "It was just absolutely weird."
A woman called police when she saw the deer falling, and Cox said he found scratches and animal hair on the fifth floor, indicating that's where they had been.
It's unclear how the deer got into the garage, but Cox said they may have become frightened after getting trapped. Cars moving through the garage may have spooked them, he said.
Or they could have been fooled by trees that can be seen from the top of the garage, mistakenly thinking they were close to home.
The carcasses were given to passers-by for butchering.
looks like they got ripped off this year from their "Magic Dust" supplier... was Rudolph one of them??
Nah...just tenderized!
Dear Children,
I will be a little late getting to your houses this year because of the untimely demise of Donder, Blitzen, Comet, Cupid, and Vixen.
Expect me sometime between Dec. 26 and Jan.1. I am busy training their replacements right now.
Sincerely,
Santa
Obviously distraught, these deer clearly gave their lives
in protest against the evil slaughter of their kin every year. Imagine seeing your kin killed and butchered to feed
a vorocious pack of bipedal predators.
Fie, FIE! I say.
Have some more Bamburger?
The deer were vegan Buddhist pacifists engaging in a symbolic gesture of suicide out of frustration with the repressive administration's foreign policy

"Oh, see the deer. Does the deer have a little dough?"
"Yeah, two bucks!"
Flying reindeer are known to teach their young
to fly by nudging them off of tall buildings.
Authorities are unaware of how many deer flew
successfully.

What does Mrs. Claus do with the reindeer on Christmas Eve?
They go into town and blow a few bucks.
After doing this, I guess you'd have to call them Raindeer...
