Man dead, woman fights for life after pet deer attack near Wangaratta

A man has died and a woman has been seriously injured after they were attacked by a deer they'd kept as a pet on their property in north-east Victoria.

"An animal that would be otherwise docile for 10 months in the year, is an animal you really don’t want to be around for two months," said Barry Howlett from the Australian Deer Association. There are as many as a million feral deer in Victoria, according to a 2017 state government report, with some species increasingly found in urban areas.
