Why the Finns pull to have a pet moose

The Finns is in the blood: Markku lives with his moose named Mervi, MIA keeps in the office, a dozen chickens, and she's sleeping homemade Alpaca.

Traditionally, Finns were villagers: the rampant migration of rural population to the cities only began in the 1960‑ies, and the rapid urbanisation of Finland took only some dozen years. But at least the Finns and radically changed their way of life, their relationship with nature and with animals, remained the same.

Finnish photographer Alexi Poutanen (Aleksi Poutanen) devoted his project of an incredible love of his countrymen to nature, which sometimes is expressed in an extreme form. If you live in the city, why not have a manual Python or not to decorate the house with the stuffed bear?

Before the Finns began to move EN masse to the cities, they are side by side lived with Pets, and in the forests surrounding their homes, often faced with wild animals. But now the inhabitants of the Country of thousands of lakes have been able to preserve their unique relationships with friends-animals and respect nature.
