reindeer being slaughtered in Sweden

[dogtowner]

by high speed trains, no kidding

Santa will not be happy about this. I don't get why they do not feel it coming even if they can't see or hear it till its too late. Do these things have no natural predators ?

A new high-speed railway in northern Sweden has already claimed the lives of 200 reindeer since it opened three months ago, forcing the farm owner to move to safer pastures.

The train line, which runs between Umeå and Lycksele, has been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of reindeer over the last three months, when the unfortunate animals have wandered onto the tracks.

No, because they don't live in Alaska.

no wonder a fat old guy in red and white can capture eight of them. just walk up, slap a leash on them and away you go.
