Why Don't Americans Eat Reindeer?
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
- Reindeer - the smaller, (semi-)domesticated version/subspecies of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus)
- Caribou - the wild, north American subspecies of Rangifer tarandus (Rangifer tarandus granti and others).
- Wild reindeer - the wild, European/Asian subspecies of Rangifer tarandus.
- Herding - bringing animals together into a group, maintaining the group, and moving the group from place to place
- Rain-on-snow event - exactly what it sounds like! Rain that falls on snow, freezes into a thick layer of impenetrable ice over pastures, and causes mass starvation of reindeer (or caribou).
