Royal Parks issue deer warning to dog walkers this Spring

Available for over a year

Nearly 150 incidents of dogs off leads chasing and attacking deer have been recorded over the past 28 months across London's eight royal parks, a charity has said. Royal Parks, the body that manages the parks, has warned visitors that such behaviour risks serious injury to people, dogs and wildlife. The charity said owners must keep dogs on leads during deer birthing season which runs until 31 July in Richmond Park and Bushy Park. (Image credit: Getty Images)
