Lidl selling reindeer meat ...

Discount grocery chain Lidl has begun stocking its shelves for Christmas - with reindeer meat.

The supermarket, which has 500 shops in the UK, Italy, Germany and Malta.It is the first to introduce the meat, which sells for £5.99 for 350g under its premium Deluxe brand.

Animals rights campaigners claim the Germanowned chain is "destroying the magic of Christmas" and demand it "takes Rudolph off the menu".

Lidl say their reindeer feed on local aromatic herbs and grass. "They live in their natural habitat and have plenty of space," said a spokeswoman.

Would you buy it if it would be available for purchase in Malta?
