Summary

Reclassify reindeer as domesticated farm animals and remove the requirement for keepers to meet zoo-level geological enclosure standards. Establish fair, practical welfare regulations suited to reindeer kept by trained, responsible handlers. Reindeer have been safely kept by trained handlers for decades, yet we feel outdated licensing rules impose unnecessary zoo-grade conditions not suited to farmed reindeer. We believe reclassification protects welfare, supports small businesses, and ensures practical, evidence-based regulation.
