Re: Scottish red deer

It's been on our news over the last few days that our red deer are suffering badly from the bad weather,no food etc many are dying.What do we hear from the land owners etc.."oh there won't be so many to shoot etc,we may have to suspend stalking, it may be a bad year for us"...arses! Not as bad a year for the starving deer.
Red deer were originally forrest animals etc,they were imported for royalty etc to hunt up here.Our climate suits reindeer better,but then they are domesticated not so much fun to hunt.Pah!

Katty, did you hear the pathetic excuses given for not distributing food to the deer? Made my blood boil.

Makes me mad,the attitude that they are only here for hunting etc,stuff them if they suffer etc.Only when the landowners finances suffer ,then we may see some action.
Now I know red red are not a native species etc for Scotland(well fairly recent|) ,they were brought up from England for hunting. They should still be looked after.
