"The Deer Commission for Scotland estimates that up to 10,000 deer are
killed every year on the roads."

Seems they've already started!

We had a problem at work with people running over the rabbits on our
site at work (1.2 miles perimeter length so reasonably big and only a
few tame cats to keep the population down). The management got an
exterminator in who shot them with an air rifle. People were up in
arms about this terrible treatment of the fluffy ickle bunny rabbits.

Maybe the deer should be wearing helmets.

If someone pointed out that there has been (I believe) a fair degree
of success in reducing such collisions in the New Forest by applying a
blanket 40mph speed limit, perhaps drivers would make a lot less fuss
that "something should be done"?

Neil Greig, of the AA Motoring Trust in Scotland, has been called
"evil" by someone in an opposing group. That might be a bit strong,
but his ideas are always from the behind the windscreen viewpoint.

This was combined with fitting the animals with reflective sashes.
P'raps these scotch types need to festoon the antlers with fairy lights
so that the deer are easier to see.
