Elderly Man Fined $6,300 After His 40 Pet Deer Refuse To Be Ear-Tagged
An 81-year-old Adelaide Hills man was fined $6,300 after failing to attach mandatory identification ear tags to the 30 to 40 deer he keeps as pets. He and one of his sons were injured during tagging attempts, and a bid to tranquillise the animals with help from a Monarto Zoo associate failed because the deer could not be safely approached. A Landscape Officer first noted the untagged herd in April 2022; the man pleaded guilty to failing to comply with an action order and now has until the end of November to tag every deer over 12 months old.
