Once again the organisers of the Victorian Christmas fair in Keswick are using live reindeer for their fair, despite strong public objection and a previous petition which gained over 100,000 signatures.
There is nowadays no justification for the use of these animals for human entertainment in conditions they should not be in. They are very sensitive creatures, who suffer great stress from being paraded around, and are not even indigenous to the UK. I am very concerned that the fair want to put profits over animal welfare.
It is about time this needless cruelty, like animals in circuses etc was stopped.
