This deer in Lago Vista, Texas, is anything but broken and defeated.
It may seem that way, though, given that the animal got a hammock stuck in its antlers. Since the hammock has given the deer a look similar to the swooping haircuts you might’ve seen in Hot Topics in the mid-2000s, the Lago Vista Police Department declared it to be in “his emo era.”
“He’s been spotted proudly wearing a hammock tangled in his antlers, and while his ‘forest-core fashion’ has raised some eyebrows, rest assured, he’s totally fine,” the Lago Vista PD writes in a Facebook post. “He’s eating, drinking, strutting around like he just dropped his debut album called ‘Hammocks & Heartache,’ and clearly thriving in his main-character moment!”
Anyone concerned with the deer’s well-being need not worry, as he will shed his antlers before winter’s over.
“Which means his emo-chic accessory will fall off on its own soon enough,” the post reads. “Please don’t try to approach or remove it. He’s doing just fine, and frankly, we don’t want to ruin his vibe.”
In other words, he’ll carry on.
