The footage captured by the Ongehoord investigation team at De Weerd deer farm in Nijbroek is far from cheerful. Red deer dash around in sheer panic as they are shot one by one. One deer, believed to be dead, unexpectedly lifts its head, only to have its throat cut. The animal, still conscious and struggling, bleeds to death.
