My paraphrase. Actually, in addition to threatening to kill Santa, she also threatened to kill his reindeer and feed them to the homeless if she didn’t get what she wants for Christmas: “Teen writes death threat to Santa.”
And how did her mum react? by committing to try to get everything on the list, of course.
I wonder how this got into the news though. I don’t mean, why was it deemed newsworthy - what I mean is how does somebody’s letter to santa become known outside the immediate family. In other words, I am not taking this story at face value.
Is it unheard of in Britain to put them in the real mail? I mean, my local paper always has a large list of letters from Santa reprinted, and I’m pretty sure they get them from the local post office–anything addressed to Santa winds up there.
And let’s not even get into Canada and postal code H0H0H0.
The reindeer live a freer life and have more space than any tamed animal I know of. I would have thought that any animal rights group would say: don’t eat meat but if you have to, at least eat as much reindeer as possible.
