Animal welfare officers (AWOs) will be present at Richmond Park should deer be culled in February 2013.

AWEA is committed to monitoring the cull and taking any legal means necessary to intervene where a breach of animal welfare legislation is identified.

Jake Knight, AWEA welfare executive, said: “Our AWOs will be at Richmond Park to monitor the cull.

“We urge Royal Parks to take the decision not to cull deer, however should they proceed, we will monitor the cull to ensure compliance with animal welfare legislation.

“Wild animals are protected by law and any suffering caused to animals may constitute a criminal offence.”
