Anchorage Looking For Suspect Connected To Reindeer Death

An unofficial mascot of Anchorage, Alaska was euthanized after potentially being poisoned. Reindeer Star VII is often seen in local parades and events, but a masked intruder has been caught on film spraying him with an unknown substance. After this incident, Star began to lose weight and become sick. Unfortunately, the 8-year-old reindeer was soon put down. While the reindeers are usually replaced once they pass on, owner Albert Whitehead says he will not get a Star VIII until the suspect is found. “I don’t feel safe putting another animal in that pen,” Whitehead commented.
