It appears that a deer was just looking for a place to say since due to progress from humans taking over their home in the forest in Toms River New Jersey on Thursday November 30 2023, a deer that broke into the Cedar Grove Elementary School during the evening hours. The Toms River Police Department officers showed up to chase down the deer who entered into a classroom. The police officers were able to open the back door so that the deer could leave the school building safely back to the forest without being harmed. Link is upi.com/9841701810071 via @pi

I wonder if it broke through a window. How the deer don't get hurt doing that is beyond me. I hope it was OK.

@celticeagle That is true that people think of deer as being harmless.

I am sure that the deer is okay. I am sure that the deer was cold and decided to break in by breaking the window.

The deer obviously didn't know the school's scheduling.

I saw this on the local news in a segment, “What Caught My Eye.” This seems to happen so often.

That is very true that deer are breaking into schools and public buildings since their home in the forest is being taken away by humans.

The poor deer must have been so spooked. I am glad that he is unharmed for the most part.

I am sure that the deer was scared and disoriented being inside a school building.

Odd story but glad the deer got back to the forest safely. Maybe was just looking for warmth, I'd think.
