China tourist accused of hurting wild animal in Japan park by furious ‘scary’ volunteer
Tourist claims he was being ‘playful’, local man says he was ‘abusing’ deer, video viewed 30 million times
A Japanese man became outraged after alleging that he witnessed a Chinese tourist mistreating a wild deer at a national park in Nara City, Japan.
He shared a video of the incident on August 30 on his X account @hezuruy, which has since ignited a heated discussion on social media.
In the video, a middle-aged man speaking Mandarin is shown teasing a deer by poking one of its hooves with his foot. Disturbed by the sight, @hezuruy quickly rushed over to confront the tourist about his behaviour.
He shouted at the tourist accusing him of abusing the deer and demanded he stop.
The man immediately stopped and said “sorry” in English many times. He also explained in Mandarin that he was just “playing with the deer”.
His explanation did not convince the Japanese man, who continued to berate him.
