[–] bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 years ago (2 children) Only doing this if I get a moose steak with those pancakes. Moose aren't like a sacred animal in Canada right? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 years ago You'll have to fight the Mounties for them: permalink fedilink source parent [–] nepenthes@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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.
