Takaichi and Nara's Deer

Takaichi Sanae, considered the frontrunner to replace outgoing PM Ishiba, is a native of Nara. She's also a right-wing blowhard. Takaichi has alleged that Nara Park's deer, a national natural monument, have been abused by foreign visitors, though local officials are unable confirm such violence. She says she has her own proof- so there! Anyhow, if this scary individual truly cares about the creatures, she might want to investigate this: 奈良鹿愛護会問題」とは、奈良の鹿の保護団体である「奈良の鹿愛護会」の管理下にある鹿の飼育環境、特に特別柵での収容環境が不適切であると指摘され、動物福祉の観点から問題視された事案です。餌が不十分で栄養価が不足していること、また鹿の健康状態が悪化しているにも関わらず十分な対応がなされていないことなどが指摘され、奈良県が「収容環境は不適切」と判断するに至りました。 Google's inelegant translation: The Nara Deer Protection Association issue is a case that was viewed as problematic from an animal welfare perspective, as it was pointed out that the environment in which the deer were kept under the management of the Nara Deer Protection Association, especially the special fenced enclosure, was inappropriate. It was pointed out that the food was insufficient and lacked nutritional value, and that sufficient measures were not being taken despite the deer's deteriorating health condition, leading Nara Prefecture to determine that the containment conditions were inappropriate.
