It’s empowering to know a lot more about these lovely animals. I know what I’ll be discussing with my kids next Christmas 🙂 I’m also heading to Finland and Norway this year, I’m hopeful that I will also spot the white reindeer!

@Julia – Ha. I hadn’t thought of it either, until I did research and I speak German as well :). Hope 2016 is a fantastic year for you!

Great pics of a beautiful creature. Happy new year and wishing you a great 2016 ahead.

@Claudia – Yes, you should move and the good news is the odds are in your favour 🙂

Re: the policies. Thanks for the explanation. I think it’s a great thing and I believe that only Samui in Sweden and Norway are allowed to be reindeer farmers.

Must. Move. To Finland! The reason there are strict policies applied to the profession is that it is seen as a traditional occupation strictly linked to the culture of minorities – there have even been cases taken to the UN Human Rights Committee under case 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, such as Ilmari Lansman v. Finland, in which the Committee stated that for a minority it is essential to practice traditional activities to preserve their culture and identity and eventually established that land and its use are important aspects of culture and way of life and should thus be protected.
