Deer Act 1980

Okay kiddo, let me explain the Deer Act 1980 to you.

So you know how deer are cute animals that live in the forest? Well, sometimes people like to hunt them for fun or for food. But sometimes, people hunt too much and the deer population gets smaller and smaller.

That's where the Deer Act 1980 comes in. It's a law made by adults to make sure that deer are protected and that people only hunt them in a way that doesn't make them go extinct.

The law says that people need to have a license to hunt deer and they can only hunt during certain times of the year. There are also rules about how many deer someone can hunt and what kind of weapons they can use. This makes sure that people don't hunt too many deer and that they don't hurt the deer too much when they do hunt them.

The law also makes it illegal for people to sell deer meat or to keep deer in captivity without permission. This helps make sure that deer can still live in the wild and don't become just a product that people can make money from.

So the Deer Act 1980 is a law that helps keep deer safe and protected from being hunted too much or mistreated by people.
