Royal Parks Police said it had received “concerning” reports over the weekend of people attempting to pull the deer’s antlers, saying some of the reports had been captured on video.

In a statement, it said: “We have received reports of concerning behaviour in Richmond Park over the weekend, where park users have been observed approaching the deer and attempting to remove their antlers.

“Video footage of these incidents has been obtained. We urge anyone who witnesses such behaviour to contact the police by calling 101.”

    Just why? What goes through people’s minds that think this is a thing they should be doing?

    Hopefully they were treated to a swift gore to the cheek and a permanent disfigurement. Cunts.

    You can’t pay me enough to get near deer unarmed.

    They look cute, sometimes act cute, but they can and will fuck you up six ways to Sunday, and then when they’re done they’ll spit on you as an insult to your grandmother.

    Just depends on which side of the bed they fell out of this morning. Or if they’ve contracted chronic wasting disease.

    I don’t understand how someone can be so fucking stupid to think they just come off like that. Have they never seen deer knocking antlers? They’re pretty well attached until they decide not to be.
