Sixth headless deer raises fears

AFTER a recent three-week period where the headless carcasses of five deer were found around Killarney, another similarly disfigured animal raised further fears for the safety of the species.

“The most recent deer carcass was again found with the head removed, but this time it was also found close to the other killings,” said Damien Hannigan, secretary of the Wild Deer Association of Ireland.

The latest remains were found in the Rossacroo area.
