Just a little fluffy piece about baby animals at Stoney Oaks Wildlife Park (deer, goats, cattle, etc). Newborn animals 'like a little miracle to me' - petting zoo owner
On the topic of deer, I wonder if Mt. Hutt Station will ever distribute their Pere David's deer to other facilities/farms/wildlife parks. Would be a shame to see them die out in NZ.
They could be elsewhere - but I have never come across any reference to them being so. I have seen a couple of references to them being used for "hunting" but I don't know if that's accurate or through confusion. There are some "canned hunt" outfits in New Zealand though. I agree it is a shame to have the species in New Zealand and not to be able to see it displayed anywhere.
