Siberia to cull 2,50,000 reindeer amid anthrax fears
Russian officials have reportedly called for the culling of 2,50,000 reindeer in northern Siberia amid fears of an anthrax outbreak. The infection has allegedly claimed the life of a boy, and over 2,350 reindeer so far. Reportedly, anthrax has been resurrected in the region after carcases of reindeer, which died from the infection decades ago, unfroze due to global warming.
