White Stag Killed

[naturelover]

how sad makes me want to cry,that beatiful creature no more,they have got to be able to find out who is resposable for this wickedness,some one will let the cat out the bag somewhere,what a waste.

Shame.

Its worth pointing out that the white deer (in the first link) in the New Forest are a colour variant of the Fallow deer. The one in the picture is one of the Fallow bucks that hang around the Bolderwood area & come to the deer viewing platform to be fed in the summer for the public by one of the Forestry Commission Keepers.

The one that was shot on the Devon and Cornwall border (in the second link) was a white Red deer stag, much rarer.

No i would just like the mindless killing to stop. Though the law seems to favour those that do?

Cazzie is *speechless* for once!

Mindless doesn't even start to cover my repetoir of emotions on this subject...

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.

I joined this wonderfull site a couple of days ago and i actually took the picture of the white buck (not a stag) in the Daily Echo. I was interveiwed by a reporter over the phone and was completely honest with him except for the position i took the photo. I just hope that any sad copycat trophy hunters have a long uncomfortable and frustraiting time trying to hunt him and wouldnt it be nice if they got nicked whilst trying.
