The Beast Of Ballard Down



Several possibilities as to how this deer ended up like this.
Locals think that pet dogs could be responsible.
Tourists imagine The Beast Of Ballard Down.



It's more likely that a car was involved at the start, before foxes, carrion crows and other carnivores got stuck in. Who knows, maybe Hugh Fearnley Mutton Chops had a leg for Xmas ?



There are still plenty of live ones left.

UPDATE : Reports in the media, confirmed by the police, of several incidents of poachers leaving jam sandwiches and buns in the road to attract deer, which are then wounded or killed by traffic. Metro news article
