In Nara Park, Japan, a dead deer was discovered on May 24. Known for its vast history and appeal to millions of tourists, Nara Park is home to wild deer, a major attraction. However, the increased tourist activity and waste generation have led to detrimental effects on the park’s wildlife.

Tragically, a deer met its demise in May due to unnatural causes. Human negligence directly resulted in this unfortunate incident.

Veterinarians Uncover Shocking Truth

Prior to its death, park veterinarians noticed the deer’s deteriorating health in March. By the end of May, it was found dead.

An autopsy carried out by the veterinarians unveiled a gruesome revelation – the deer’s stomach contained a staggering four kilograms of plastic, inhibiting its ability to feed. It was disclosed that the deer weighed a mere 29 kilograms, with a quarter of its weight compromised of plastic.

Regrettably, this case is not an isolated one.

Reported by SoraNews24, eight deer perished under unknown circumstances. Further investigations revealed that six out of the eight deceased deer had ingested plastic.

Deer’s keen sense of smell aids them in seeking out food scraps often found in plastic containers, inadvertently consuming significant amounts of plastic along with their food.

The authorities now urge visitors to clean up after themselves and dispose of waste properly in designated bins.

However, the Nara Welfare Deer Association has introduced eco-friendly bags for tourists, as stated in a report by Epoch Times.

The organization assured that these bags are safe for deer to ingest.

“When visiting Nara Park, please opt for these bags instead.”

It is distressing to witness an animal perish due to human actions, particularly from negligence, littering, and plastic pollution. Plastic waste in oceans and forests continues to pose a significant threat to countless animals daily.
