Fifteen deer, including two endangered four-horned antelopes, were mauled to death by stray dogs in the Sanjay Rescue Park in Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh’s Surguja district, officials said on Sunday.
The incident came to light on Sunday when the forest officials spotted the carcasses of 15
deer in their enclosure in the park, a forest officer said.
Sources said that the gates of the deer enclosure in the park had been left open inadvertently leading the stray dogs from the nearby forest to enter it on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday and then killed the animals.
