If we are going to feed bears before hibernation (they are plundering our garbage cans) because otherwise they might starve due to lack of food on the mountains, is that ok?

Bears = omnivores, will kill for food
Moose = herbivores, will lick you to death?

Ah. So you suggest we all cuddle moose, who are bigger than us, and have hoofs that kill you with one hit?
Especially when they have their offspring with them?

Sure seems like a good advice.

When is the last time you heard of a bear kill anyone, when the bear was not feeling attacked? the bears here turn away, because they are scared of humans. UNLESS they feel attacked.

Anyway, I don't feel like getting in a discussion with you, while we all know that WE are living in their territory. I wish you luck cuddling your moose, that your neighbour is going to shoot because it is wounded, and as far as I have learned in my short time here, "we" can and will shoot wounded animals, because that is the right thing to do, and it fills the freezer. Hell, even the border patrol does it.

I was taught NOT to feed wildlife. Period.

Just for shits n' giggles. VERY friendly animals, who are cuddly, and never touch man....

Bison are much more cuddly. You should see them 'fetch'.

In most cases, that is the best route. If you, like this guy near Red Deer, can't stand the thought of two animals slowly dying while you could have done something, then you take responsibility for your actions. To each, their own.

It was about DEER!!!!

This article is about MOOSE

Brenda Brenda:

And no, bears are not looking for HUMAN food.

The ones that were discussed in the other thread were looking for human food, sorry I didn't make myself more clear.

Brenda Brenda:

Moose are VERY dangerous animals. One kick with a hoof and you are dead.

As are horses, cows, deer, and every other hoofed mammal.

What you're trying to compare here is completely different.

This moose is in fenced "compound" and will remain there until it's injuries are better, or it dies.

[Brenda]

Did you read the story at all?

The article about a deer pest in Grand Forks that I mentioned, is about deer. Not about bears.

Not in a fenced compound. In someones backyard.

Nice touch there! Typical response, I would expect nothing less from you.

I was taught never to feed wild animals and I have never fed a wild animal and never plan to! <shrugs>

You didn't even read the story. Please

(did we ever run into eachother here before? I can't remember. Wonder where that "I would expect nothing less from you" comes from? Did I miss something?)

Cutie, seriously. Moose come and go in this backyard. They can jump. These people feed them every year.

Nope, but I have been around a couple years, or so and have read a few hundred posts. I have seen how you treat people when you disagree with them.

You do have a point there although moose wouldn't have to jump that fence, they can step over it. My bad.

[Brenda]

Nah, that calf has to jump
