Police are searching for three men after a wild stag was cruelly attacked in Nottingham’s Wollaton Park, caught on camera by a witness.
Witnesses were horrified as the yobs laughed while tormenting the poor animal. The police are now on the lookout for three men involved in this cruel act.
A wildlife photographer, Chris Golightly, was there and captured the disturbing scene. She described how the men grabbed the stag’s antlers and slapped it on the back.
Chris rushed to find a park ranger but by the time they arrived, the thugs had already fled. She expressed her disgust, calling it bullying and an act of cruelty.
Nottinghamshire Police are investigating and have urged the public to keep their distance from the wildlife. They want to prevent such reckless behavior in the future.
Wollaton Park is a popular spot, home to many deer, and it’s sad to see such incidents happening. The park is known for its beauty and wildlife, but it seems some people just don’t know how to behave.
This isn’t the first time there’s been trouble with deer in the park. Just last year, a stag injured a man who got too close. It’s a reminder that these animals can be unpredictable, especially when provoked.
Let’s hope the police catch those responsible and that this kind of behavior stops. Wildlife deserves our respect, not cruelty.
