However, enforcement remains difficult without clear evidence of serious injury. ⁠ ⁠ This incident has reignited discussions about tourist behavior and animal protection in Japan’s most iconic cultural sites. ⁠ ⁠ Click our link in bio to sign up for our daily newsletter. ⁠ Follow us for the latest Asian news NextShark⁠. ⁠ ⁠ #news #NaraPark #Deer #AnimalRights #Tourism #Japan #AsianNews
