Research from scientists at University College Dublin indicates that deer in Phoenix Park are experiencing ongoing health and behavioural issues due to being fed by people. Jane Faull, a PhD researcher in behavioural ecology, emphasized on RTÉ's Morning Ireland that the public should refrain from feeding the deer and maintain a safe distance from the animals. The study highlights that feeding the deer items like chocolate and crisps is particularly harmful. Authorities are urging the public to stop this practice to protect the deer's well-being.
