WINDSOR Vagina Monologues doubles as fundraiser for local artist. C4 BREAKING NEWS AT A2 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2012 THE WINDSOR STAR Deer heads discovered in city park Second case locally within a eek "TO COME UP TO THIS STUFF IN THE WOODS PRETTY NEAR GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK." AMY THOMAS around," said one longtime hunter. But he added leaving heads in a public area where families can find them lacks good sense. Another hunter said that hunters who'd do this are "the one-in-a-million people who are just scum." MNR staff are looking into the Ganatchio Trail incident and have already concluded the Amherstburg incident "shows no apparent contravention of MNR legislation at this time," said spokeswoman Jo-lanta Kowalski. "It's really a case of hunters should know better than to do this," she said.

"It's unfortunate, because it's not something the general public is used to seeing; it could be disturbing." The discovery of severed deer heads is something that gross," in full view of anyone who happened by. "I'm a huge animal lover, a vegetarian, all that stuff," said Thomas. "So to come up to this stuff in the woods pretty near gave me a heart attack." The discovery came the same week another dog walker, Mike Jaber, came upon the grisly scene of four severed deer heads the cuts clean and deliberate in a ditch along McLeod Avenue in Amherst-burg's Amherst Point. Based on interviews with local hunters and a spokeswoman from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the consensus is the heads were probably left there by irresponsible hunters. In the case of the Ganatchio Trail heads, they were probably killed elsewhere (it it really ticks me off." Whoever left the heads was breaking at least one city bylaw, says Mike Clement, manager of park development at the city People aren't allowed to dispose or dump garbage in a park.

And if the deer was killed at the site, that's illegal because killing or attempting to kill animals in a park as well as possessing a firearm or bow and arrow, contravene bylaws. He said he hasn't heard of any reports of illegal hunting in the Ganatchio Trail parkland. Hunters told the Star when they're out in the woods and shoot a deer, they clean it and leave what they cut off at the scene for the coyotes and other predators to feed on. "It's a process that's been done for as long as I've been BRIAN CROSS The Windsor Star There's been a second case of severed deer heads discovered by a disgusted dog walker, this time at a city park. "It freaked me out," said Amy Thomas, who was walking her dog Leela last week along the Ganatchio Trail just east of the toboggan hill in Little River Park, when she spotted what looked like a raw roast in a wooded area.

Upon closer examination, it turned out to be two deer heads, "skinned and really happens every once in a while, she said. "And whenever I've heard of it, it's been in Southwestern Ontario." That may be because when hunters kill a deer in northern areas, they're in isolated areas where a head won't be found by someone on a walk. But the situation is different in Windsor and Essex County, she said. You're not supposed to put a deer head in the trash, she said, so hunters here might be left wondering what to do with it. She said one option is taking the head to an abattoir or butcher, who may charge a fee to dispose of it.

Kowalski said anyone who wants to report improper disposal of deer parts can call the ministry's tip line at 1-877-847-7667. bcrosswindsorstar.com SickKids CEO retires Windsor native Mary Jo Hadd-ad is retiring as president and CEO of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto at the end of next year after 10 years at the helm of the hospital.
