The video has been edited to see the worse parts of it where they had to use force to try and control the reindeer, tbh the woman got really lucky that the antlers did not catch an artery on the neck.
I'm fairly certain that that's not uncommon in the wild. Trimming of antlers is sometimes necessary. There's blood being pumped to the antlers but I don't think they have any real feeling in them. The reindeer's lucky to be alive.You can see part of it's antler having been snapped off.
Lock it in a cage, and when it gets ****ed, beat it with a shovel? ********.
With regards to the comments about why not use tranqs.
IIRC in the UK a tranq gun is classed as a fire-arm (or some are at least*), many of the drugs used in them are potentially very dangerous to humans, and/or restricted in use to people with the right qualifications (Vets etc), and administering a tranq using a gun is potentially very risky as the darts have the potential to injure the animal quite badly, and for the drug to be affective you have to hit it in the right place (hit fat and it won't be absorbed by the system fast enough, hit).
And that's before you get to the problems with the dosage for the animal, too much and you kill it, too little and it potentially just annoys it.
I suspect the case may be similar in Poland.
To all the tree hugging fairies in this thread who think the zoo keepers were in the wrong for defending themselves....seriously get a grip and take a look at yourselves. I for one hope none of your immediate family/friends are in a similar situation whereby you will stand by and watch whilst counselling said animal and giving advice to your mate who's being speared by a wild animal on how to take him down gently without bruising the creature.
RETARDS.
