Oh wow; I thought they were wild reindeer! Thats awful (well, of course either way it's awful). I can't watch videos on my older computer that I'm on so I just assumed they were wild.

What? I've read these were wild animals. Where did you read that these were someone's herd?

It could be just a tall story, to cover-up something very unnatural that caused it.

Yes, they were wild animals. Hardangervidda mountain plateau is around 3 hours from Oslo. The herded reindeers are primarily in Northern Norway.

The article said it was the lightning combining with the water that caused a mass electrocution. Like if lightning were to hit a swimming pool full of people.

Oh, there were so many of them, I assumed they were livestock. Turns out they were migrating wild animals.
