The RSPCA say they are taking the incident very seriously
A couple from Rhondda were shocked to find a deer pelt in their back garden.
The animal skin, with one piece about one metre long, was found at their home in Porth on Saturday, December 17.
The deer’s head had been cut from the pelt, and other cuts of skin showed entrails from the animal.
It had been tossed into the remains of an old compound, found in the back garden of the Porth property, on High Street.
Sophie Daniels, RSPCA inspector, said: “It is a complete mystery what happened to this deer, and why its pelt was dumped in somebody’s back garden in this way.
“RSPCA Cymru is concerned that the deer skin could be linked to a wildlife crime incident, and we are taking this incident very seriously.”
RSPCA Cymru is now urgently appealing for information regarding as to how the deer’s skin was thrown into the couple’s garden.
It is feared the incident could be linked to wildlife crime.
“The land backs onto a lane and neighbouring school, so we understand they often find litter discarded in their property - but never something like this. They were shocked,” added Sophie.
“We are appealing to anyone who has information about this incident to contact our inspectorate appeal line on 0300 123 8018. Calls are treated in confidence.”
