It’s not Santa who lost his reindeer, but the situation is just as urgent. Since November 20, 2024, two females have not been found and the owners are seriously starting to worry. Aïka and Snow usually live in a shelter in Bellefosse in Bas-Rhin. But they managed to get out of their enclosure, says France 3 Grand Est Monday December 16, 2024.
“They are two reindeer around ten years old. They know how to manage in nature”said one of the shelter employees. “The big danger for Aika and Snow is cars and hunters. Reindeer is a species that we do not have the right to hunt”she continued.
“Don’t approach them”
On social networks, the shelter tries to mobilize hikers to locate lost animals. “A map is available to track the locations of reports or footprints, they are potentially separated at present”specifies the structure on Facebook Monday December 16, 2024. “Every report counts to prevent them from being injured or involved in an accident”she tells Internet users.
If people spot the animals, they are asked not to approach them but to take a photograph and then send it to the shelter with the precise position. “Don’t approach them to avoid scaring them. […] A team will come with food and a person they know. » Everyone is hoping for a Christmas miracle, before December 24.
