Oregon teen is charged with animal abuse and wildlife harassment after officials find social media video of him riding a mule deer buck

An Oregon teen was arrested after officials found a video on social media that showed him riding a mule deer buck.The buck is heard grunting and bleating in the video, and after escaping the rider, repeatedly jumped into a linked fence, in an apparent effort to escape the enclosure, police said.

Troopers were able to identify two suspects, Jacob Belcher, 18, and another person who allegedly filmed the ride. Belcher, from Riley, Oregon, was found at a rural ranch in Harney County, interviewed and arrested. He is being held at the Harney County Jail on charges of wildlife harassment and animal abuse, according to police.Investigators learned that the buck had entrapped itself in a fenced feeding enclosure before Belcher allegedly rode it. The animal was eventually freed, but its status is unknown, police said.

Eli_Fieldstadt a buck is a male deer, thus a “he”, not an “it”. Animals are gendered beings, not things - like a car. Language matters, and reflects the awareness of the writer and of society. Please be mindful of this when writing about animals. 🦌
