Comments: It's not as if they have more right to live than cows, or sheep, or chicken, or fish, or geese, or turkey, or ox tongue, or pigs, or anything... I get how it might spoil Christmas a bit, but I figure if u don't want it, don't buy it. Just don't kill any with red noses...:-)

Comments: Lidl is being in this case quite selfish for reindeer meat I expect is expensive because it is rare. Also on many Christmas cards are reindeer, it would not be pleasant to have a dead reindeer on it. Think!

alicianpig voted for No (please say why) on Saturday 12 March 2011
Comments: it's just like any other meat. unless it's clever like a monkey or endangered ofr a meat eater, reindeer is no worse than eating, say, chicken. saying it's bad is very narrow minded. it's like when people say it's barbaric that some people eat horses. it's just a cultural thing,not some moral thing

sneezylcb voted for Yes (please say why) on Wednesday 29 December 2010
Comments: I think innocent reindeer should not be hunted and eaten. Why do we need even MORE meat than we have already? I think turkey, chicken and lamb is quite enough at Christmas, let alone reindeer. These beautiful animals should be left alone. Also, what will small children think when they see the animal they believe to be magic laying on a supermarket shelf?

iamrandom voted for Yes (please say why) on Wednesday 22 December 2010
Comments: Eating meat is something humans have been doing for millions of years. The natural order of things is that animals eat each other. But, I agree eating reindeer is just not right.They are peaceful animals and do not deserve to be eaten.

Comments: I think it's horrible that people kill cows or chickens to eat. I'm a vegetarian and I'm fine - so don't go saying you're not healthy without meat. And REINDEER meat?!?! That's just terrible. Reindeer are wild, peaceful animals and don't deserve to end up in supermarkets. :'(

bubbles123 voted for Yes (please say why) on Sunday 28 November 2010
Comments: it gives everyone a chance to try something new and eat something they wouldn't normally eat. I don't understand what is wrong with it. In norway they have a special season to hunt reindeer and then they eat them.

Dillys voted for No (please say why) on Monday 22 November 2010
Comments: I think that in some aspects this is wrong but just because it is reindeer meat and reindeers look cute as we are not used to eating them, if you are a meat-eater and eat chicken, fish or any other meaty products then, if you voted yes, you should stop eating meat alogether! We think about reindeer meat differently to chicken meat which is wrong as they are both types of meat

cbborfmm voted for Yes (please say why) on Saturday 20 November 2010
Comments: I don't see why not. It's probably no different to venison (deer meat) which is really nice. Also, reindeer are free range, and people in Scandinavia have been eating reindeer for centuries. What's the problem?
