The moose are constantly hanging up on stuff here. We had a mother and calf last year chasing my lab in the yard and ran through the dog line nearly giving my husband a heart attack. We worry about them all the time. There's always a pic around of one with christmas lights around its neck......... jo
And here's a really stupid quote regarding a white moose in Norway:
"It is surely entertaining to have an albino moose wandering in the woods but in purely breeding terms it is not right to let it live," Morten Brommdal, manager of the animal section at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience at the University of Oslo told Moss Avis.
"That so many people want the white moose to live is an emotional issue. It is exciting to have such a rarity rustling around. But if it is spared we risk the moose’s breeding qualities spreading. Soon we might two, three, four or five albino moose in these wooded areas, something which in the long run can weaken the herd," said Brommdal, who pointed out that an albino moose is really a kind of ‘mistake’.
Mistake?!? Can you believe that? After all, mutations are the mechanisms of evolution!
