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. They say most species need “at least three months” with theirs mothers “if the young are to survive at all”. The BDS is among nine organisations to have called for a meeting with Scottish Ministers and public agency NatureScot to discuss the proposed changes.

Plans to substantially reduce Scotland’s rocketing deer population have divided conservationists, land managers and animal rights activists. The next Scottish Government is expected to table new legislation which will give public body NatureScot more powers to cull deer where they are damaging crops or woodland and causing road accidents. Deer populations are believed to be at their highest ever levels, with red deer numbers having doubled since 1959. Around 100,000 deer are already culled every year. Conservationists and land management groups have recognised the need for even stronger action on deer numbers.
