Reindeer Don’t Have Horns, ‘Guardian’…

The usual puff piece in the 'Guardian' about quaint folklore and conbservation of forest reindeer contains this howler:
The last wild forest reindeer was shot in the Koitajoki area in 1919. Its horns are on display in a local restaurant, not far from Matveinen’s house.

Its antlers, I think you must mean.

You would go a long way in understanding the Guardian if you understood that the journalists have little experience outside the lanyard people living in big cities.
