Only doing this if I get a moose steak with those pancakes.

Moose aren't like a sacred animal in Canada right?

    Moose are revered and they are to be respected!! They can stomp your face effortlessly.

    I believe Aboriginal cultures have many deep ties with the moose. I think some people hunt and eat them, but it's not really a thing on a menu where I am (urban west coast), and is moreso a maritime/Newfoundland menu thing.

    Regardless, we build many statues to them: (I have only seen one of these in person [top right, Deer Lake Newfoundland].)

    Image transcription: Five moose statues from around Canada. Moose are 2m or 8 6.5-7 feet tall (at the shoulder), so these are some bigass sculptures. One, which was a memorial for a man who died of cancer, is now covered in bras for breast cancer awareness/fundraising.

    Edit: converting metres to feet is hard to do in my head.

    Every so often I see a video of someone trying to mess with a moose, and I can only assume it's because they are suicidal. Unless you have a gun and decent distance, a moose will fuck your shit up.

    Re: statues, we have this beautiful bastard in Cow Bay, NS!
