Can’t see a moose being malicious.
Heh, keep in mind...”malice” and “malicious” are not the same thing, even though they share the root.
Malice defines the nature of the action (A desire to harm others or to see others suffer; extreme ill will or spite) which is to cause harm or injure...Malicious is a “nature” of something, implying forethought.
A charging moose can definitely charge a human with malice (a desire to harm) but...we agree, a moose isn’t malicious.
That would tread the territory of anthropomorphism. And moose HATE that...:)
