Deer have the right of way in Nara! This right is written in the city ordinance. I, a Nara citizen, think it is ridiculous. If you hit a deer by the car, you have to pay a penalty, which is also ridiculous.
It would appear that those Japanese Deer are much safer in the City than in the Forest! In the City, they're almost like Public Pets!! No fear of People! Indeed, they seem to like People!! Of course, those Hoo-Manz like to give them treats and goodies! Some Deer actually like human affection!! In the Forest, they are terrified of humans because they're hunted for food! I hear that Deer prepped and cooked the Japanese Old Country way is Delicious!
