Deer in Sydney captured and put down at Taronga Zoo after roaming streets

Veterinarian says the deer was suffering multiple injuries and could not be saved

A second wild deer, which has likely roamed around the Sydney CBD for more than a week, has been euthanised after sustaining injuries while dodging traffic and running through the city on Thursday morning.

Commuters in central Sydney were warned to watch out for a deer running across the inbound lanes on the Anzac Bridge in Pyrmont about 5.25am. Police attempted to capture the animal but it escaped, and reinforcements from the RSPCA were called in.
