The Park City Police Department on Sunday indicated a deer needed to be destroyed on Sunny Knoll Court. The police intended to contact state wildlife officers regarding the collection of the carcass.
A dog attacked a deer in Park City in early April, the Park City Police Department said, apparently in an area popular with recreation lovers on the edge of Park Meadows.
The case is a rare report to the law enforcement agency involving an actual attack on wildlife. The police sometimes receive complaints about dogs chasing animals but not actually catching one.
The department received the report on April 4 at 1:23 p.m. The case was logged on a trail in Round Valley. The police were told the location of the trail is in the vicinity of Sunny Knoll Court, a small street that is located several blocks from Round Valley. The case was reported “behind” the street, the police said.
