THE RSPCA freed a deer which became entangled in a hammock in a Monmouth garden.

RSPCA animal welfare officer (AWO) Sian Burton was called to a Penyclawdd garden on Thursday.

AWO Burton said: “We managed to cut the deer free from the netting.

“The deer stayed quite still for a couple of minutes while it gathered itself and then ran off through a hedge and over a fence.

“It was an unusual thing to happen.”
