These days, there are more deer in the UK than since before the Ice Age. These gentle animals are as much a part of Britain's landscape as the hills, pastures, and forests they live in -- but they're still in danger of being killed off by the thousands in the name of "population control."
It's true that overpopulation isn't good for humans or animals. But the recommendation of some scientists that 750,000 deer be shot seems excessive, particularly because as of now, there's no strong evidence to suggest that the deaths woud be humane.
There are always alternatives to culling, and this time is no exception. In the United States, for instance, deer contraception has been used with significant success -- and little-to-no bloodshed. The United Kingdom should do the same. Stand up for the hundreds of thousands of deer in the United Kingdom who don't deserve to die on a whim. Stop the UK deer cull today!
Hi Babes Deer were actually introduced into Britan by William the conquerer in 1068 as a. Animal to be hunted for sport. Although very cute they are a lovely healthy meat which is high in protein and very low in fat.
