 Herbivory and environmental degradation caused by feral deer - key threatening process declaration
The five species of feral deer currently established in NSW are primarily grazers, but all species browse opportunistically on the buds, shoots and leaves of trees and shrubs (Bentley 1978).
Most species of deer are nocturnal or semi-nocturnal, sheltering by day in forest or woodland and emerging to graze from late afternoon to early morning in native grassland, improved pasture, crop or other agricultural land (Bentley 1995).
While detailed extrapolation from overseas studies involving different species of deer, different flora and different environments from those in Australia may not be possible, the available research supports a common generalisation that increasing numbers of deer may strongly modify the abundances of particular species and overall composition in a wide range of plant communities.

 The Hindu : Kerala / Thiruvananthapuram News : Sterilisation of deer: zoo refutes charges
The sterilisation of spotted deer and sambar deer done at the city zoo recently was aimed solely at improving their living conditions and only three sambar deer died as a result of this surgical procedure, the zoo director, C.S. Yelakki, has written to the Central Zoo Authority (CZA).
The director's report says that two spotted deer "jumped out of their old enclosure barricades out of provocation and later died owing to exhaustion" during the process of capture.
The report further elaborates that no population control measures were resorted to in the past "fearing likely anti-propaganda by the media and animal rights activists alike." However, the burgeoning deer population in the zoo left the authorities with no option, but to go in for a surgical intervention.
