Train kills reindeer 'like meat grinder': farmer « New Media Blog

The Local [Sweden], by Staff Posted By: Photoonist- Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:31:29 GMT A new high'speed railway in northern Sweden has already claimed the lives of 200 reindeer since it opened three months ago, forcing the farm owner to move to safer pastures. (Snip) Jonsson, who is the chairman of the Rans community, has brought up the issue with the train service, Botniatåg AB, but his pleas have fallen on deaf ears. “This year, they’ve provided a shuttle service from Lycksele and increased the speed of the train so it’s like having a meat grinder that goes past,” Jonsson said to SVT.
