The shooting of a red deer named The Emperor has raised the issue of stalking - the tracking and shooting of the animals.

The Emperor, nearly 9ft (2.75m) tall, was thought to have been the biggest wild land animal in the UK - though some experts have questioned this.

Stalkers see their activities as an important part of land management - a key method of regulating the number of deer in the wild.

Government figures show about 350,000 deer are already culled each year in the UK, but numbers are still rising.
