Christmas Events Are Anything but Merry for Reindeer—Speak Up

The Christmas season is a time for empathy and kindness, not for carting sensitive reindeer around to crowded and frightening events in which they're harassed with unwanted touches. Handlers restrain them with halters and reins or confine them to barren pens. Just days after hearing from thousands of PETA action-takers like you, a chain with more than a dozen stores has already agreed not to use reindeer at Christmas events this year. Now, urge other venues to follow suit this holiday season.

Fascinating Fact:

Sheep are optimists who just want to have fun! Lambs use a special signal when they want to play—they kick their back legs into the air. They also love to cuddle with other sheep and their favorite toys. Although sheep have powerful memories, they've been shown to be optimistic even after enduring stressful or scary situations.
