Around two million deer live in Great Britain. There are too many deer, red deer, fallow deer and muntjacs, say experts.
The enormous population has consequences: According to information, farmers lose crops worth several million pounds every year due to deer. 75,000 wildlife accidents a year cause vehicle damage worth around £45 million (€52.6 million) - and cost around 10 to 15 people their lives every year. The animals can also transmit diseases, reports the Times.
