They are not grazing, simply vacationing. A Special Reindeer Operation, if you will.
And sometimes you do Reindeer Games.
Ah russia can’t even defend themselves from reindeer it would seem
Sweden should ‘accidentally’ torpedo one of their subs when it wanders into their waters, then send them a bill for the torpedo that ‘wandered into their hull’, should cancel out.
I either don’t get it or this joke has no logic.
The Soviet Union/Russia have a habit of sending submarines into Swedish waters.
And sending fighter jets into other countries’ air space.
It not usually into the airspace. Just into the air defense zone which is over international waters. It’s the nation-state equivalent to “I’m not touching you.”
You’re right. It did happen once or twice with Finland, but with Norway and the US it is just “near” their airspace.

They’re wild animals. Seriously who gives a fuck, plus at the rate we’re going they’d probably go extinct in the next 50-100 years
Broke ass bitch
that is some expensive grass
They dont eat grass but lichen.
That is some expensive lichen.
Well the Reindeer sure seen to be lichen it.
They’re probably pining for the fjords now.
Its a special conservation mission.
4.4 million rubles?isn’t that like 400 dollars…?
worth 0 dollars when your trade is embargoed and you lose recognition as a country
They definitely want the hard currency
It was 47 million nok, or 4.4 million usd. Not rubles.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
And while there’s a fence to prevent reindeer from crossing borders, that barrier dates back to 1954 with parts in disrepair, the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture said in a statement last Thursday.
The rundown fence has allowed 42 reindeer to cross into Russia this year in search of better pastures in Pasvik Zapovednik, a Russian national park.
Russia has already sent one claim — with two different ways of calculating the compensation — for the runaway reindeer’s grazing, the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture told Insider in an email on Thursday.
The latter claim is calculated based on the total number of days the reindeer have spent grazing in the national park.
“It is strictly forbidden to cross the border into Russia, for reindeer too,” the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture said in a statement last Thursday, according to an AFP translation.
Russia’s natural resources and environment ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
