Alberta Forestry and Parks conservation officers are investigating after an off-leash dog killed a mule deer in Canmore. According to a social media post from the Town of Canmore, municipal enforcement community peace officers attended the scene, where a woman wearing a black puffy jacket left with the dog. The town said it has since been in contact with the dog owner involved in the incident, which remains under investigation. “This incident is an important reminder that leashes save lives (and it’s also the law to keep your pet on leash),” the town said in an update. “Living with wildlife in the Bow Valley is a unique privilege that we all need to take responsibility for.” Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the town’s municipal enforcement department at 403-678-4244 or by email at enforcement@canmore.ca.
