Lo cho nai hay cho người đấy?

Every year, about 4,000 reindeer (nai tuyết) lose their lives on Finnish roads in car accidents, causing 15 million Euros of damage every year. And now, the Finnish Reindeer Herders Association is testing out a new way to make the large mammals more visible to drivers: reflective paint (sơn phản quang).

The idea is to spray the antlers of reindeer with reflective paint that reflects motorists’ headlights (đèn pha). "The aim is to prevent (ngăn chặn) traffic accidents (tai nạn giao thông). The spray is being tested on fur at the moment, but it may be even more effective on the antlers, because they are seen from every side".

According to the Finnish paper Helsinging Sanomat, most collisions (va chạm) occur in November and December when the roads are icy and it gets dark earlier. July and August are also bad months, as the mosquitos “keep the deer on the move.”
