Paul Richards, Park Manager at Richmond Park, stated the event is deeply distressing and emphasizes the importance of responsible dog ownership to protect the park's wildlife.
Richmond Park is a National Nature Reserve home to around 630 red and fallow deer, which roam freely in this wild landscape, highlighting the importance of regulation.
The Royal Parks Police remind dog owners that it is illegal to allow dogs to chase deer in the park and the need for close control of pets.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of responsible dog ownership in protecting wildlife and ensuring visitor safety within the park.
