Awful, for the poor old lady.
I've read that moose are very bad about attacking folks. One of the big reasons they warn not to feed them in the winter time & get them used to being around people. :oopse5:
We don't have ta' worry about either around here.
We do have deer, but they mostly just reek havoc on our vehicles when they race across the highway right in front of ya'!
When my son first moved to Alaska, his in-laws chastised him for taking walks alone without a gun.
He just kinda' blew it off til he realized they DO have critters that would love a nice tasty well fed human meal...grizzly bears for one!!
So what did hubby & I do when we went up there for his wedding?...We took all 5 dogs for a walk out in the woods...unarmed...
He was raised up in the country here in Texas where there ain't nothing gonna' eat or kill you that walks on 4 feet.
The main thing we worry about these days are the 2 legged ones that look just like us.
