The first petite guest in the animal protection park! A 1-year-old male sika deer is found alone in Donganqiao, Kansai. If there is no owner, it will be open for adoption.

On Sunday (25th) after Typhoon Qiangbi hit, some people reported that they found a lone male sika deer near Dong'an Bridge in Guanxi Town, Hsinchu County. Worried about the safety of the young deer, after dispatching rescuers, it is currently placed in the Hsinchu County Animal Protection and Education Park, which is also the first of its kind at the Zhuxian Animal Protection Center. The park announced today (28th) that it is looking for an owner. If no one claims it before November 4th, adoption will be open to the public at 10 a.m. that day.

On the 25th, an enthusiastic citizen called 1999 to report that a lone sika deer fawn was found on the riverbed near Dong'an Bridge in Guanxi Town. The County Agriculture Department immediately commissioned a wildlife rescue team to investigate. In order to maintain the safety of the sika deer, after rescue, it was temporarily housed in the Hsinchu County Animal Protection Education Park.

He Zhifeng, director of the Hsinchu County Animal Protection and Epidemic Prevention Center, pointed out that the sika deer was a sub-adult male deer, about 1 year old, weighing about 40 kilograms, with "nail-shaped horns" that have not yet branched out from the top of its head. It was examined as a healthy sub-adult deer.

In order to find its family, the county government visited surrounding livestock farms, but no one claimed it. So far, the owner has not been confirmed. After internal discussions, the Agriculture Department decided to release a search message through the social platform today, calling on the owner to come forward to claim the deer, or anyone familiar with the sika deer to help provide clues.

If you are an owner, please bring your ID card and relevant certification documents to claim it; if no one claims it within the time limit, adoption will be open at 10 a.m. on November 4. The adopter must be over 18 years old and must prepare cages and vehicles that can safely transport the sika deer. Those who do not meet the qualifications will not be accepted. If there are many people to adopt, the application will be done by lottery.

People who are interested in claiming or adopting can first call the Hsinchu County Animal Protection Education Park at 03-5519548 extension 105 to confirm the relevant procedures and qualifications. The park hopes to find the original owner as soon as possible through the announcement, or find a suitable new home for the sika deer.
