There is a mysticism about White Harts (Earth heart where are you)
People want to posess the "magic" then find they have just venison, it is so sad that the White stag should die after all these years at the hand of an idiot

I know that there is a fine if you shoot a white pheasant whilst on a shoot as they are especially bread to give the keepers a clue at a distance as to the whereabouts of the majority of the birds. Oh and a cash prize if you shoot charlie (a fox). Maybe the white Fallow strain were bred by the Normans for same reasons.

Today 15.00, I was driving along the A281 between Horsham and Handcross, reference point Horsham, UK - Google Maps

near magpie lane junction, and on the verg was a fully grown pure white deer, female I think. It had just been run over. It's still there.

Not a good idea to give out where you saw it.Some moron might hunt it down
If you read through these posts you would have noticed MH68 quote this
"Good on you for not giving away the location of that beautiful animal,and well done for getting the photo published "

Oops sorry missed the last bit where you said it had been run down.Although I still believe where it was should not be given away in case there are others in the area

This really annoyed me when I read about it, will the person who shot it get prosecuted or fined or anything??? Didnt hear any mention of it

Hi,

I did hear many years ago that any white deer would be culled by Rangers as the white made the herd too easy to spot by poachers, true/false, I could'nt say.

Max.

Well, this left me speechless but not completly surprised, this world we live in has become money driven and anything unsual which walks or swims is killed for money, my suggestion is that if you see something so rare and beautiful, dont tell a soul, that might just save its life, many creatures on our wonderful planet are becoming extinct, all because of the dollar sign and pure ignorance, I hope they catch the person or persons responsible for this mindless death but I doubt it. There was a story a few years back that told of 2 white foxes, the place was named and hey presto, someone shot them, it is disgraceful but places and things like this should not be disclosed, ever.
