    reindeer herding is one of the main occupations of the sami of northern scandinavia. almost all of them are domesticated.

      Oh yeah that makes sense then. The semi-wild cows of Corsica (they are domesticated and actively exploited for milk/meat but don’t have dedicated pastures, they are left to roam and graze wherever they want) are also an absolute menace on the roads

        that seems to be pretty much the same situation then, except while there seems to be around 30k corsican cows there are around 250k reindeer in sweden alone.
