Wollaton Park addresses concerns after a woman discovered a dead deer. Authorities suspect no foul play.
A woman named Chelsea Hackett found it. Her dog ran into a fenced area. She felt uneasy and contacted park staff. She also reported it to the police.
The city council runs the park. They said the deer was put down earlier. That happened on Friday, February 28. Rangers often move dead deer for the park’s biodiversity.
The council knows someone found the deer. The park has many wild deer. They sometimes must end a deer’s suffering. It’s upsetting for the staff too.
Trained rangers take this action if needed. They then move the deer to a quiet place to help the park’s biodiversity. It happened like that on February 28th. Staff found an injured deer and had to end its suffering.
They put the body in a fenced conservation area. This area is not open to the public. They are looking into how the deer got hurt. They don’t think anything bad caused it.
