A møøse once trampled my sister.
at least she wasnt eaten by an alligator while walking the dog like the granny in florida
At least she wasn’t bit but seriously, she didn’t see the moose?
Notice at the end of the video they outline the woman and dog ‘back to their walking routine’...
...but in the STREET rather than the very narrow corridor formed by twin snowbanks between the plowed street and the other side of the sidewalk.
I'm surprised that moose kicked the woman and didn't go after the dog. Moose are often triggered into aggressiveness by canines as a defensive response. More than a few people have had unpleasant encounters with moose because a dog running free will annoy a moose who begins chasing the dog who runs back to people for assistance.
Not an “angry” moose, the woman and dog were just IN HIS WAY!
Puny people and their puny pets, how DARE they get in my way.
I’ve seen that very move filmed on the mean streets of many of our US cities.
thought someone had not been paying attention
Correction, SHE was not paying attention . Poor spatial awareness where moose are common enough to roam the streets.
Sorry for her injuries. She is not dead. And dog is obedient and unaware.
Hey Rocky, watch me pull a woman out my hat and then kick the crap out of her!
Moose have horns don’t they.
Annnd the definition of insanity is...
Off topic of the thread but I noticed that Alaskans are developing an accent. It’s kinda a cross between Midwest and that Minnesota / Wisconsin twang.
Happens in Colorado too, moose think dogs are wolves and attack on sight. Moose also have little fear of humans, walk right through towns. I’ve railed against Colorado Parks and Wildlife for years that they reintroduced moose but don’t distribute enough hunting tags for them, which has led to overpopulation and danger from attacks and car accidents, which can be fatal for humans also. A moose can take the roof right off a car upon impact.
Some years ago, I went white water rafting up in Northern Maine.
We had to park a good ways away, and a bus picked us up to bring us to the place where we would shove off down the river from.
As we approached the place there was a giant moose, I mean HUGE. Massive antlers, it seemed like its face (not the antlers) came up to my level as I sat in the bus.
There was a woman standing a few feet away from the moose, snapping pictures with her camera, while the moose placidly chewed cud as it blankly regarded her.
The bus driver slowed down the bus and hissed in a low voice out the window “Get away from that moose, you damned idiot!”
He was muttering to himself as he drove away, and said to nobody in general (I have to paraphrase, it has been more than 30 years) “Unbelievable. Those things look like cows with that blank look, but if one gets a hair across their ass, especially in rutting season, those eyes go from cow-like to malignant in a flash and they can stomp you to death in short order!”
...so she thought she had been hit by a bike....in the HEAD!
These dogs are getting a lot of people killed. Leading humans into traps set by mooses and alligators. What next?
