Why Don't Americans Eat Reindeer?

To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords: 

• Reindeer - the smaller, (semi-)domesticated version/subspecies of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus)
• Caribou - the wild, north American subspecies of Rangifer tarandus (Rangifer tarandus granti and others).
• Wild reindeer - the wild, European/Asian subspecies of Rangifer tarandus.
• Herding - bringing animals together into a group, maintaining the group, and moving the group from place to place
• Rain-on-snow event - exactly what it sounds like! Rain that falls on snow, freezes into a thick layer of impenetrable ice over pastures, and causes mass starvation of reindeer (or caribou).
