Court Halts Fallow Deer Cull in Netherlands | Amsterdam News

Animal rights groups win a major legal victory in the Netherlands as a court halts a planned cull of fallow deer in Zeeland, ruling the province failed to properly justify the lethal method and didn’t adequately consider alternatives. The court gives Zeeland three months to fix its permit application and two weeks to respond — or face immediate cessation of the cull. While the court doesn’t ban culling outright, it demands a stronger case proving ecological necessity and deer welfare. Groups now push for an immediate halt, citing the ruling as a clear mandate to rethink deer management entirely. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
