DANGEROUS ENCOUNTERS WITH STAG IN RICHMOND PARK
These are more shocking photos showing an unidentified man in Richmond Park feeding a fully grown stag and then being forced to defend himself with a flimsy branch.
The man who appears to be having a picnic under a tree in the park is seen offering food to the deer, who is just inches away from with his antlers almost touching him.
While the stag lingers and refuses to move away the man finds a broken branch and tries to push him towards the stream.
Freya Reid, who filmed the encounter, said on social media: “It clearly states everywhere in Richmond park DO NOT FEED THE DEER… these Stags and deer are wild animals yet people think its a clever idea to feed them to get a photo whilst sitting down, instead of removing plastic bags and food from sight and slowly moving away……”
