The couple said they had left carrots and horse treats outside for the deer to eat. <\/p>\n
She said the RSPCA “only opened a case” when informed the deer was wandering to her patio doors for food, because they feared it was becoming “tame”. <\/p>\n
“The agreement was that they were waiting for an expert from Derby to come to ‘dart it’ and take it to a nature reserve, but then nobody ever came or got back in touch with me,” the woman said.<\/p>\n
Recalling when she first saw the deer, she said: “I heard a commotion and when I went to the back door the dogs were running in, scared. <\/p>\n
“When I looked outside there was a roe deer buck looking at me so, obviously, I shut the door at him and thought ‘What the hell’s going on?'”<\/p>\n
She said she was advised by the RSPCA to leave the gate open to allow the deer to make its own way home, but the buck seemed very content to stay put. <\/p>\n
The resident said she was told not to approach it, as deer can cause serious injuries with their antlers. <\/p>\n
“I got in touch with [the RSPCA] over a couple of days, told them ‘no, the deer is still here’. <\/p>\n
“It had lots to eat, I think it knew that it was safe with me because it kept coming on to the property.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The couple said they had left carrots and horse treats outside for the deer to eat.
