A park ...I'm glad the deer are being relocated. A park is no place for these timid, wild animals. The standard of welfare in Clissold Park in Hackney is a disgrace. This park has received lottery funding and the deer are living in appaling conditions. They are confined to an area far too small for their needs and without adequate foliage and cover to protect them from barking dogs and the huge demolition and building work around them. Today, a fawn was born surrounded by massive machinery, noise and vibration. What a cruel replacement for the green wood and forest which is its natural home. <br /> <br />These creatures also have to put up with vandals breaking in at night and endangering their very lives. A deer was recently shot! The railings around the park are a disgrace. Any one can get into the park after hours through the buckled and missing rails. Recently, the new bird aviary was set on fire and the deer injured. The RSPCA and a notable vet, an expert on deer management, have slammed this place <br />Clissold Park has had poor animal welfare standards for a long time. Deer and swans have been attacked by intruders over the years.Free the Clissold Park Deerhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Help-free-the-Clissold-Park-Deer/141484865898035noreply@blogger.com
