Now see, in England these policemen are going after the deer killers! Police out to trap deer killers Police say there have been reports of stags being shot and left to die Police in north Lancashire are stepping up efforts to catch a gang of poachers thought to be responsible for killing a third of the area's wild deer. Officers have launched the first in a series of special operations to try to trap the gang. They believe at least 40 animals have been killed and many more left to die. The Environment Agency, gamekeepers and local landowners are helping police who are also acting on tip-offs. They are also stopping and searching cars. Sgt Dal Dawkins, of Carnforth Police, said: "The rural community, particularly the farmers, are the people who see people about. "They know who is local, they know if someone is out of place." In the past six months, there have been reports of stags being shot and left to die in the Silverdale and Warton areas, said police. Poachers have virtually wiped out the entire herd on the Lancashire and Cumbria border. They kill the deer so they can sell on the meat - venison is one of the most expensive cuts on the market. Poachers do not always kill the deer outright. If a deer is shot through the mouth, it will probably starve to death. news.bbc.co.uk
