Pranksters in Sioux City, Iowa, dress dead deer as clown, leave it on family’s porch

Dead deer in clown suit left on Iowa porch

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — You’ll never see this clown in the circus.

Animal control officers in Sioux City, Iowa, say someone dressed a dead deer in a clown suit and wig and put it on a family’s porch.

Officers suspect it was a prank, considering Halloween is approaching, but they say it’s not funny, safe or acceptable.

The deer was discovered Wednesday morning.

Animal Control Officer Jake Appel says leaving a dead animal is immature and illegal. He says officers will dispose of the deer properly.

Sioux City police have not opened an investigation.
