Arizona wildlife officials warn against leaving pumpkins outdoors
Original: AZGFD: Keep Halloween pumpkins away from hungry wildlife
The Arizona Game and Fish Department is urging residents to keep Halloween pumpkins away from wildlife. Discarded jack-o'-lanterns and decorative gourds can attract hungry animals such as javelina, coyotes, deer and rodents, drawing them into neighborhoods and creating conflicts. Officials advise disposing of pumpkins securely rather than leaving them outside as the holiday season ends.
Why now: Post-Halloween leftover pumpkins are attracting animals, prompting a timely seasonal safety warning.
