It is the responsibility of motorists to exercise vigilance at all times regarding all potential hazards, including wild animals. It would not be practicable for the State to take responsibility for wandering deer or other wild animals, which are not the property of the State, or for any damage or injury they may cause. Without prejudice to the above, the National Parks and Wildlife Service regularly undertakes culling of wild deer in its national parks where this is necessary for reasons of good ecological management.
