Moose are huge creatures. Think of an ugly cow on stilts.

If you hit one with a vehicle - pray your are in a highway semi truck, even then you may get hurt.

Anything smaller and...😬

 

2 members of the Governing Body were born in Canada, eh!

I think Moose are beautiful.  Does anyone know what they smell like?

Without antlers they look like ugly cows on stilts.

You haven't almost smashed into one. I did. Moose stopped at edge of highway when it heard my diesel engine - 5 feet from me - I was going 100 kph.

Swampy smell - they love swamps.

Maybe people should be more Moose aware and drive slower.  Moose have more rights than cars.

A swampy smell sounds nice.  I love swamps too   What do they eat in swamps?

I lived in Maine for 20 years and part of our dirt road was an animal walk. When the mose were walking by, I would just keep a far distance til they were done passing by, even if it made me late. Turtle walk was the same path. Some cars just ran over a turtle or two,. So sad. Yes, we invaded their habitat and I, for one, try to respect that.

Bull moose will attack cars, etc.

 

A few years ago some guys in a new pickup truck were driving down the road.

They came around a bend and a bull moose attacked. Truck was destroyed before they managed to shoot it.

Not really. It had already destroyed their new truck and would have killed them if not shot.

 

Up north even brothers kill moose and deer to eat. Same diff as killing a cow for hamburger and roasts and steaks.

Killing a wild animal is very different to killing a domestic animal raised for food

Not really.

Many brothers don't have the income thus hunting allows them to provide food for their families. To them it is not a sport.

In Canada and the US. Natives hunted wild animals and still do for food. In the far north, groceries are extremely expensive-see pic prices have gone up since then.

In many areas of the world, if you don't hunt, you don't eat.

Now saying that, I am not nor have ever been a hunter.

How so? I have done both.  Hunting is more enjoyable than forcing a steer into a slaughter booth. They have the same eventuality.

Most pulses, lentils and beans are very affordable if it is just about money.

There are lots of reasons but it is a fact that many animals suffer prolonged, painful deaths when hunters severely injure but fail to kill them.

A British study of deer hunting found that 11 percent of deer killed by hunters died only after being shot two or more times and that some wounded deer suffered for more than 15 minutes before dying.

Hunting also disrupts migration and hibernation patterns and destroys families. 

The fear and the inescapable, earsplitting noises from the gunfire and other commotion that hunters create cause hunted animals to suffer tremendous stress. This severely compromises their routine and their eating habits, making it hard for them to store the fat and energy that they need to survive the winter. Loud noises can also disrupt mating rituals and can cause parent animals to flee their dens and nests, leaving their young vulnerable to natural predators.

All things you say are true, dear sis.  What we don't appreciate is that in lands such as Canada, where humans rely on hunting for food (and not for sport, such as in England and other lands), it is a legitimate way of life.  It is not something we might personally want to do.  I myself can't bring myself to do it.  But they are doing it to supplement their food supply.  Cold climates don't grow vegetables, and incomes can't stretch far enough to afford imported food.  Which is why they basically subsist on fishing or hunting.  It is not something to condemn scripturally, since it has been mentioned in the Bible since the time of Genesis - hunting for skins before the flood, and hunting and fishing for food after the flood. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200002104 and this QFR How should a Christian view hunting and fishing? provides some balance.

Yes I understand if people are desperate and have no food that's one thing but mostly it is because people have a taste for meat and game.  it is a subject that I am better to stay silent on since it upsets me. Roll on the new system I say.

I can understand your feelings as I am not one to go shoot Bambi or Bullwinkle either. I also understand that many areas of the world wild game it much healthier to eat than the meat you buy in the store that is packed full of chemicals and antibiotics. Moose meat is low in fat and high in protein. If you have ever been to a slaughter house you will soon appreciate that a hunter if by far more humane in his kill that the commercial slaughter house. I hate the thought of killing any of Jehovah's creation but as long as meat is on the table I will try to understand why some will try to do what they see is best for their families.

This only came about because I said how I love Moose.  One day I will kiss one on its big velvety nose

They are beautiful creatures as are all of Jehovah's creations and I can't see myself ever killing one but I do know first hand that they taste very good. I will however save my kisses for my wife.

Unless the moose has come to know & trust you, you will end up as a greasy spot in the dirt.

For a couple months a year during hunting season?  

The wild animals around here must be messed right up then, The mine & ski hill are always bombing, way more often and louder than gunfire.

Look at how domestic meat is raised, especially chickens, animals don't suffer like that when they're killed by hunters.  Besides more deer getting killed on highways every year than ever get killed by hunters, or game culls from fisheries
