Hyderabad: One more deer was found mauled to death by stray dogs near the horticulture department nursery on the University of Hyderabad campus on Thursday. This is the third deer to have been killed on the campus since Friday.
Mr Jillapalli Ravi, photographer and founder of Wild Lens group in the university, said, “The number of deer which have died in the university since the beginning of the year will be more than 30. I go around the campus for photography and have spotted deer carcasses at many locations.”
He said only some deaths come to the notice of officials. “Deer which die in the deep wooded areas on the campus remain unnoticed,” he said.
Mr Ravi said one of the reason for the large number of deer deaths was stray dogs. “All government departments which we approached have thrown up their hands. The university is not doing anything. It will not be long before the university’s deer population is wiped out,” he said.
