In Oslo's Botanical Garden, a young buck and a doe had made their home for nearly two years, enjoying the idyllic scenery but inadvertently harming the garden's plant life, including rare species. The garden's management made multiple attempts to encourage the deer to leave, but these efforts proved unsuccessful, leading to concerns about the impact of the deer's grazing on the flora. The situation escalated when it was reported that these deer might face culling if their presence continued unchecked.

To resolve the issue without the use of tranquilizers, which were not permitted, the authorities devised a plan involving the installation of small capture pens baited with carrots. This strategy aimed to safely trap the deer and facilitate their relocation. As a part of the relocation process, the deer were fitted with radio collars to monitor their movements and ensure their safety in their new environment.

Following their relocation to Tøyenparken, officials have advised the public, including dog walkers, to maintain a safe distance from the deer to avoid stressing them further. This incident highlights the delicate balance between wildlife and ecological conservation, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies in urban settings where wildlife can impact rare and sensitive plant species.
