Reindeer should be at home with their families like we are at Christmas. But, because of this event these animals are: 

• Forced to travel long distances from their home in a national park in Scotland.
• Placed on a cold, hard concrete floor, in a small pen in a loud, busy shopping centre with lots of shoppers.
• Unable to exhibit their natural behaviours resulting in stress and illness.

There is a wealth of information available as to how harmful these events can be, such as Freedom for Animals' campaign content, and recent research published by OneKind in Scotland.

 In the past 6 years 153 annual festive events that previously used live animals as props have seen sense and now plan compassionate, animal-free celebrations. We simply want our city to be one of them, and you can help!

Stopping this event will save the reindeer from the ordeal of this event. Let’s create a magical Christmas for reindeers and send the very clear message that Lancaster does not welcome the mistreatment of reindeer. Keep the reindeer home this Christmas!
