LELYSTAD, NETHERLANDS - APRIL 08: The remains of a deer are seen in the Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve on April 08, 2018 in Lelystad, Netherlands. Thousands of animals died during this winter due to overpopulation and a shortage of food. Animal activists feed the horses, deer and cattle by throwing hay over the fences despite a ban by the local authorities. Emotions are running high as many of the animals face starvation with Oostvaardersplassen's feeding policy for large grazers being heavily criticised. (Photo by Pierre Crom/Getty Images)
