Deer to be released after crashing through Lilly Hall window
May 20, 2008
A small male deer will be OK after crashing through a window at Purdue University this morning.
Emergency personnel look over a deer that is tranquilized after falling into a window well at Lilly Hall this morning at Purdue University. The deer suffered minor injuries and was to be released south of campus.
The deer, which police estimated weighed about 100 pounds, appeared to have jumped into a window well, above the downstairs hallway connecting Lilly Hall and Life Science Plants and Soils Laboratory. The well is about a six-foot drop, with a similar drop to the floor below.
Police received a call around 8:10 a.m. but didn’t know how the animal wound up on campus.
Anesthesiologists from the Large Animal Hospital came to scene and tranquilized the deer around 9 a.m. Following the first round of tranquilizers, the deer bucked its way through the window.
Dr. Michele Barletta said the buck, which had cuts to the face and leg but no apparent broken bones, would survive best if released to the wild. Animal control officers took the animal and planned to release it.
“It’s in its best interest to let out in field rather than take it back to the hospital,” Barletta said.
After a little internet searching, reading, and checking up on this stuff I found it’s a pretty well established product in Canada and hails from Quebec where they have this funny habit of speaking a lot of French. Thus the name, Jig-A-Loo, and the company’s claim it derives from a saying they have up north, “I’ve got it!”
