ECONOMY, Pa. (KDKA) — Neighbors in a Beaver County community are devastated and demanding answers after they say a hunter killed a beloved deer named Ginger.

They described her as a wannabe dog who made their days a whole lot brighter. The Pennsylvania Game Commission is now investigating what happened.

People who live along Ridge Avenue in Economy are in mourning over the killing of Ginger the deer and these neighbors are now calling for change.

Whether playing chase in the backyard, visiting a friendly porch, relaxing with friends or getting zoomies, Ginger the deer, kept these neighbors company.

“In and out of the garage, I’d be in there doing something and I’d have to say, ‘move Ginger, you’re in the way,’ and if I’d go in the house she’d look in the back window to see if I was coming back out and if I didn’t come out she’d lay right here and wait for me,” said neighbor Lenny Deutsch.

“She actually became very good friends with my dog, would come up to the window to have us let the dog out. She was just always around, never hurt anybody and really just brought joy to everybody that met her,” said neighbor Blaise Britton.
