The emergency center received an alert for rescuing the animal shortly after 4 p.m. on Wednesday night.
The video filmed by a reporter present at MTV News shows an unidentified character floating in front of Eteläpuisto. It was suspected to be a cow or similar large animal.
MTV Uutis was tentatively suspected by the Inland Finland Police Department that the deer had been killed.
Police later said the lifting operation was transferred to the rescue service when police could not find suitable equipment to perform the task. Sea Rescue also participated in the operation.
The Pirkanmaa Rescue Department confirms to MTV News that the animal raised from the water has been a deer. The rescue service says police confirmed the individual in question, who was ordered to be killed two weeks ago for harassing behavior.
– The police are currently investigating the transport of the animal. It will probably end up somewhere in the incinerator, says fire chief Sami Rantala.
