Orphaned deer could starve to death under the Scottish Government’s cull plans, says a welfare organisation. The British Deer Society (BDS) opposes a proposal to shorten the close season for female deer. According to the BDS, calves that are nutritionally dependent on lactating mothers could suffer.
