Nara Park has issued warnings to tourists not to tease the wild deer while offering them crackers, after a record 180 injury cases were reported last year — instruction panels in English, Chinese, and Japanese have been set up at the stands where visitors buy the special crackers:
看板には「鹿からのおねがい」として、「じらさずにすぐちょうだい」「鹿せんべいがなくなったら両手を広げておしえて」などと記されている。
