flag Victorian farmers and environmentalists urge government to reclassify feral deer as pests due to population surge to 1 million and growing threats to agriculture, ecology, and public safety.

flag Victorian farmers and environmental groups are demanding the government reclassify feral deer as pests, citing a population surge to 1 million—the highest in Australia—and increasing incursions into urban areas, including homes and streets. flag They warn of severe agricultural, ecological, and biosecurity risks, including disease spread, and criticize the government for maintaining deer as protected game despite expert advice and public dissatisfaction. flag A coalition urges immediate, coordinated action and funding, pointing to New South Wales’ successful cross-sector model, while questioning why protections remain as damage escalates.
