Nottinghamshire Live is condemning recent behavior in Wollaton Park where individuals have been seen interacting with stags in a harmful and inappropriate manner. The publication has released photos of a group of men interacting with a stag, shaking its antlers and slapping its rump, urging the public to identify the individuals involved.
Today Nottinghamshire Live is urging people to stand up and protect our stags, after yet another terrifying picture of people getting too close to the animals emerged from Wollaton Park.
If you know who any of them are, we're asking you to help Nottinghamshire Police and let them know. Signage is clearly displayed in the park asking people not to approach the animals for their own safety and to avoid distressing them. "It must have been really frightened, I don't know why it didn't attack them. I think it was just sitting half asleep. He looked terrified."
Erin McDaid, head of communications at Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, said: "There have been worrying reports of people disturbing deer and even touching stags whilst posing for photos at Wollaton Park for a number of years, and this latest reported incident raises real concerns.A spokesperson for Nottinghamshire Police has asked people to come forward with any details they hold about the incident.
