"Hunting should be done for food -- and only for food. You should eat what you kill and kill only to eat, not for some 'trophy'" - Rapaire.

I agree wholeheartedly with that.

But has anyone had a good look at the photographs of "Pearl", I've linked to the one published in the Daily Mail as it showed the best "close-up":

Now compare it to this shot of a Roe Deer:

I have hunted Roebuck in Poland and in Wiltshire. Pearl's head looks all wrong, shape of head, shape and size of eyes. Looks like a mixture between a sheep, a Wallaby or a Kangaroo. The body doesn't look "right" something about the line of the hind quarters. It wouldn't surprise me if this was a hoax but its a bit too early for April 1st.
