they are stupid animals, they aren't capable of agreeing or disagreeing...that's why God gave   different brains to animals than he gave us.

One of the few species that are endangering their own ecosystem..bringing it on the brink of destruction and themselves with it

That's why they have to cull the herd, they are breeding out of control and destroying the ecosystem and endangering the damn penguins...

Original Message A 16-strong team is preparing to shoot dead 3,000 reindeer in a mass slaughter on a small Antarctic island.

A tiny herd of reindeer was introduced to the British territory of South Georgia for food by Norwegian whale hunters a century ago.

Since then the numbers on the island have exploded and the animals are causing significant damage to the environment and threatening the native king penguins.

The team of mainly Sami reindeer herders is now preparing for the cull and has set up fences and a corral for the reindeer.

Most of the animals will be slaughtered with a bolt gunshot to the head. However, those in remote areas, or those near penguins where stampeding reindeer could trample birds, will be shot by rifles.
