Spotted by JuliaM in the Richmond & Twickenham Times:
Richmond Park has long been known for its herds of majestic deer. But the regal creatures could soon be sharing the green space with some newcomers from across the border - in the form of a herd of Highland cows.
Royal Parks and Natural England are hoping to introduce small numbers of cattle across areas of Richmond Park as part of a plan to improve its biodiversity...
Docile breeds such as Highland cattle will be chosen to ensure park-users will be not be affected.

No, no, you're quite wrong - they're sweeties. Gentle giants.
Solidarity with the deer, methinks.
