i've been to nara and the deer were assholes, even when there weren't many people. having wild animals in this are uncontrolled and unsupervised by the city is a problem, there will eventually be a few foreigners that get hurt or die and it will become a big legal problem for japan if they don't find some way to make it safe and regulated. this was always going to happen, this just makes it happen sooner. it's the responsibility of nara to take care of this. this is a nara problem not a foreigner problem
if they dont want people feeding them they should allow selling of foods to give the deer. nara natives want to act like the deer are gentle creatures, but they are just assholes everytime i've been there.
