Royal Parks Deer Shoot - Take Action
Henry VIII | 04.11.2010 11:30 | Animal Liberation | Ecology
200 deer are set to be shot over the next four weeks in the Royal Parks. You can help stop it - take action!
The Royal Parks are under mounting pressure to justify the shooting of deer in several of their parks - Richmond, Bushy and Greenwich. It has emerged how park staff are feeding the deer to attract them to shooting areas, which is only serving to boost the population. Each year, they also make £29,000 from the sale of the carcasses of over 200 deer from each park to restaurants. Still, it is disguised as a call when the real agenda is making profit from the senseless killing of these grand animals.
In 1989 over 1,000 deer lived in Richmond Park in healthy herds, however now there is merely 600 healthy animals and the Royal Parks claim the area is overpopulated, which is why the cull is happening. If it was really about the health of the deer, other methods could be used such as contraception, relocation and sterilisation - all of which have been used elsewhere.
This season, activists have been present in the parks stopping any shooting taking place so far. The Royal Parks can easily make a decision to end the cull so please contact them in complaint.

Deer suffering in Hackney's Clissold Park
04.11.2010 18:35
Our campaign is trying to find a safe refuge for the deer in Hackney's Clissold Park. The conditions in which the poor deer have to live is shocking They are confined to an area far too small for their needs and without adequate foliage and cover to protect them from barking dogs and the huge demolition and building work around them. The park has received lottery money and is doing extensive renovations. Today, a fawn was born surrounded by massive machinery, noise and vibration. What a cruel replacement for the green wood and forest which is its natural home.
These creatures also have to put up with vandals breaking in at night and endangering their very lives. The railings around the park are a disgrace. Any one can get into the park after hours through the buckled and missing rails. Recently, the new bird aviary was set on fire and the deer injured. It had to be shot to put it out of its misery. A dog also crawled under the fencing and attacked a deer. A notable vet, an expert on deer, has slammed this place yet Hackney council refuses to move the deer to a sanctuary. Clissold Park has had poor animal welfare standards for a long time. Deer and swans have been attacked by intruders over the years. If we can find a safe place for the deer the council just might let them go. Please sign the petition
