Environmental groups in Scotland are calling for new legal measures to force landowners to cull deer. A voluntary deer management system has been running for the past year and a half, but environmentalists say it isn't working and claim deer are causing serious damage to sensitive areas. They want Scottish Natural Heritage to impose targets for the number of deer landowners must kill. The move is opposed by many landowners. This week Members of the Scottish Parliament have been hearing the arguments from both sides.
