So many inaccuracies in this article.
The photo isn’t a wild fallow deer.
Wild fallow deer numbers in the state are only about 50,000, as determined by a government count survey . Another count is due to start soon.
Fallow deer are not a feral animal that’s deliberate bullshit propaganda by ISC
The World Organisation of Animal Health provides the following definition:
“Wildlife” will be defined as animals belonging to one or more of the following groups:
i) Wild animals: Those animals that do not live under human supervision or control and do not have their phenotype selected by humans.
ii) Captive wild animals: Those animals that live under human supervision or control but do not have their phenotype selected by humans.
iii) Feral animals: Those animals that do not live under human supervision or control but do have their phenotype selected by humans.
Virtually all deer in Australia are wild by this authoritative definition.
