TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Kenting National Park Administration issued a statement Sunday after a video shared online raised concerns that nylon fencing in the park poses a danger to the local sika deer population.

In the video, shared to the Facebook group Baoliao Commune, a Kenting resident reported discovering 20 sika deer carcasses tangled in nylon fencing along a 500-meter stretch of trail. On Sunday, the park said it is in the process of replacing nylon rope fences with metal wire fences to reduce the risk of deer getting their antlers caught, per UDN.

The park said it has been gradually replacing nylon rope fencing for some time and will conduct a comprehensive inspection to locate and remove any remaining stretches.

The video, which shows deer struggling and crying as they try to escape, was filmed some time ago and does not reflect the current situation at Kenting National Park, per CNA. The man who shared the video told park officials it was not filmed recently and he did not recall the exact location.

Park officials said the nylon fencing in the video showed signs of deterioration and was likely installed years ago by the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute or local farmers. They said most protective nylon netting has since been replaced with diamond-shaped mesh wire fences, which are easier for male deer to escape.

The park administration said it dispatched personnel to check fencing conditions and that no dead or entangled deer were found during the survey. It also asked residents and visitors to report any incidents of trapped sika deer in or around the park.

The park has more than 3,600 sika deer, which officials said has created an ecological imbalance that could endanger other animals and plant species. In January, the park launched a program to train workers to capture and relocate deer to other areas of Taiwan.
