"Thrashed: A Powerful Display of Strength and Dominance" In the heart of Richmond Park, London, a majestic Red Deer stag stands tall, adorned with bracken on his antlers. The evidence of his fierce thrashing during the rutting season is evident, as he proudly displays his conquests.

With each swing of its powerful antlers against vegetation comes an assertion of strength unparalleled in the animal kingdom. In every instance captured within these diverse hints lies the essence of "thrashed.
