More than 100 reindeer dead in Norway after getting hit by freight train


More than 100 reindeer in Norway have been killed in recent days after getting caught on tracks and subsequently hit by speeding freight trains, sparking an outcry to erect some type of barrier during their migration. Torstein Appfjell, a reindeer herder who was “dizzy with anger,” called the deaths “totally tragic” and “unprecedented.” He said that the worst incident occurred on Saturday when 65 reindeer were killed. He said over 106 reindeer were killed since Thursday, making it the worst 12-month period they have seen in the area. At least 250 animals were killed in train accidents since last November. But many of the animals get caught on the train tracks.
