Actor, Peter Egan, says people who purchase trips abroad to shoot reindeer are comparable with “serial killers” and “psychopaths”.

British company Hendry, Ramsay & Waters is offering trips to Norway to hunt moose and trophy reindeer amid what it says is a “breathtaking” mountain landscape.

The Downton Abbey who lives in Chertsey is a well-known animal rights campaigner.

He says the time of year makes the trips even more shocking.
