Mr Hiribarne said he usually walked Alfie on a lead until he was well away from any grazing deer, and that the dog had been responding well to"off-lead" commands.
"I have also taken a special dog trainer specialised in gun dogs to control more accurately any of his hunting instincts. He has made great progress."Following the attack, police are urging dog owners to keep their pets on a tight lead after the number of incidents concerning pets troubling deer herds in the capital's eight Royal Parks rose during lockdown.
Lock him up
I'm glad the dog wasn't put down, the dog's family has learned a hard lesson here and will be more careful in future. They've already taken positive steps with a good trainer experienced with hunting dogs. Such a shame it happened.
Make sure they get that extra 2 quid to really hammer home the penalty
Fenton...fenton
Perfecto!!!👏👏
Surely the deer owner has some responsibility too!
dog should have been destroyed end of.
This is awful. That poor deer. My blood boils
The dog considered a threat, it's mildy impressive the dog killed it Deer are massive and powerful I would have put £20 on the deer winning
Should've been on a lead. The owner should face prosecution.
Norfolkbirding 'Fenton!! Jesus Christ!'
Fatal attack my ass .. The dog didn't do that the deer must have been injured already ..the article clearly states it was hit by a car and put down by a game warden
Was the breed ov dog a Deerhound by any chance
Only £602? It was not on a lead
Now, if the dog was any breed like a Staffordshire, that headline would read very differently. The owner is solely at fault.
Needs jail
When will people learn. If you’re out n about and know there are farm or wild animals - keep your dog on a lead. It gives the rest of us a bad name
Bloody cyclists.
Blame the owner not the dog
That deer would have been disposed of on the BBQ by the gamekeepers. Some of them are culled every year in Richmond and Bushy park.
Who owns the deer ? The owners pays a fine for hurting a deer that no one owns
Poor deer. Fine is too small - make it £6k plus community service looking after deer
I do wish people would keep their dogs on leads. So many running off and getting lost or attacking wild life. Sophie Rayworths dog got run over and killed chasing a squirrel. Please keep them on a lead.
Why so little? A year in prison would be better. The dog would be taken here for attacking a deer.
He should have been jailed and fined heavily and never allowed to own a dog again the sadistic cruel $%!&*
