The Kenting National Park Administration said the footage was from several years ago and does not reflect current conditions. A dead sika deer is pictured trapped under netting and a fence in Pingtung County in an undated photograph. The park administration said it contacted the original poster and determined that most of the videos were filmed years ago and the locations were unclear. The park administration acknowledged limitations in fencing, but said overpopulation remains the core problem. The wild sika deer population in Kenting is estimated to exceed 3,600, far beyond the area’s ecological carrying capacity, it said.
