“We know that many in the community, and visitors too, will be sorry to hear this. As a conservation charity, we take our responsibilities for animal welfare seriously and the advice was that this was the kindest option.” Other reports said that being fed the wrong types of food, such as human snacks, had caused the stag’s teeth to rot, making it difficult for him to forage and leaving the stag reliant on being fed by tourists as a food source.
