CT Moose Arguably Murdered

[real chili 83]

Moose are not being culled or purposefully harmed in anywhere they are "endangered", namely the upper Midwest (though endangered is purely geographic cause global moose populations are entirely healthy and robust).  This is much ado about nothing.  Many more species and populations to actually worry about in regards to their existence and threats.

Many just scrape them off the side of the road.  I-Falls to Dryden has a moose or two killed every night.  Every now and then you can find them on special in the meat case at the Dryden Safeway.

Terrible.

Not true.   They were culled in Cape Breton and other spots in Canada.

They are not endangered in any of those locations, and the populations are actually in many cases too large for the local ecosystems.

In those cases, they should be culled (just like deer hunting in Wisconsin), and they should be eaten (delicious, naturally very low fat...so healthy).

We'll agree to disagree.

They hang out in suburban Duluth. When my late sister was a student at the College of St. Scholastica, a moose came out of the woods during rutting season. He saw my tall, thin, blonde sister as an agreeable mate.

My sister did not reciprocate the moose's feelings. The jilted moose started chasing her ferociously and in full gallop. Not a pretty site to see a storming, horney moose.

My sister, not wanting to be around when the love-struck moose more formally introduced himself, ducked into a building.

On which part. The first part is a fact. You should not disagree with facts.

The second was a well supported scientific based opinion (culling).

The third was a fact that no meat-eater should deny. If you are a non-meat eater...you get a pass.

The Cape Breton Moose were culled and hunted and it didn't help the ecosystem at all.  This has been documented since 2019.

It was a decision made by ecologists and biologists who love moose just as much as you.  It was a mistake looking back, hence why it didn't continue.  Not some nefarious moose genocide

But to the original point, moose aren't endangered or threatened in Cape Breton, or Nova Scotia, or anywhere in Canada for that matter.  They are abundant and doing just fine
