A star reindeer in a South African shopping mall's Christmas display lost a
little of its seasonal pride and joy after complaints from shoppers.


Managers at one of Cape Town's upscale malls, "castrated" the plastic animal
after receiving complaints about shiny golden Christmas tree ornaments
hanging between its hind legs, officials said Thursday.


Hein Conradie, a spokesman for the company which made the display, told the
Cape Argus newspaper that the ornaments were "anatomically correct for an
animal of that size" and were prominent because of the reindeer's central
position in the display.


"Generally, we find it wiser to use sexless reindeer," Conradie said.
