An unusual event in Norway, over 300 reindeer killed by lightning, in one location. Adding to the mystery, they did NOT blame it on global warming???

If They do not gut them quickly, may not be suitable for jerky!

The elf union will want far more safety gear than:

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
“Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

The old ways are gone!

I’m fairly sure there’s a Norwegian or two that still knows how to field dress a deer. If not let me know and I’ll round up Gunnar and Toyboe from Michigans upper peninsula to do the job.

Uff ‘da

Just ask anyone down at the Elf union hall!

The list of demands are endless!

They want 1-2-3 and out! One year training, one run with Santa and three years working at the North Pole, and out with FULL PENSION!!!

The little bastards!

They have to do something with them. Normal carrion eaters and other things that clean up nature will not eat an animal that’s been killed by lightning.
