Shooting 2400 out of population of 3000 fallow deers is catastrophal and the shooting is catastrophic for the deer and the uniqueness of this area (dunes). There will be more shootings every year, because the remaining deers (if they didn't escape) have more space and availability of food. Therefore, the deer will be shy and show themselves less. Moreover, restlessness with outbreak from the area by jumping over the fences (placed thanks to Animal Protection) and lots of inconvenience for people living just outside the area. Resulting in traffic accidents. As experienced and strong animals are slain, natural selection will not have a chance. This results in a weaker group of animals.
One of the arguments is not enough food for the fallow deers. So far there is nothing proved and the fallow deers are in excellent condition. Should an animal weakened and unnecessary suffering by eg cold, hunger or disease, you will also find that such animals must be liberated from suffering.
