From the
Daily News:
A moose kicked a woman in Town Square Park Monday afternoon after she got too close to the animal and reportedly tried to pet it, according to Anchorage police.

Every piece of literature, every tourist brochure, every city map, every guidebook ... they ALL say moose are wild animals. An adult moose can weigh up to 1,400 pounds and stand 7 feet tall. They have pointy hooves (read sharp objects), and kick with front AND back feet. And did I mention antlers that can be more than four feet wide?
I'm sorry she got hurt, but apparently this lady tried to play "How dumb can you get and still breathe?" but lost.
The sad part is, no one ever learns. The next moose appearance will be accompanied by a rush of people - mostly tourists, I'm sad to say - and the sound of dozens of cell phones snapping photos.

No, the woman played played how dumb can you get and still breathe, and won this qualifying round - she's still breathing!
Makes you wonder what she'll do next?
I doubt she got any sense kicked into her.
My sister walks dogs in NYC. She usually walks 4 at a time. It's amazing how often she has to yell at people who want to roll their damned strollers right up to dogs they don't know and let their idiot children "pet the cute puppies". I've been on the phone with her and she'll stop talking and say "NO! Get away from the dogs!"
People are stupid - they think because Walt Disney told them all the wild animals are really nice fluffy people at heart - that all animals are friendly. Good grief!
It just gets worse. The numbers of people who think that wild freakin' bears are Winnie the Pooh or something. Oh, well; to paraphrase a good friend, Alaska can replace "stupid" with "dead" very quickly.
Saw this on a news web site yesterday. She's lucky she didn't get her brains kicked out. Oh. Wait...she doesn't have any.
joated got it right! People watch way too much Disney.
I always invoke the great Bugs Bunny in these circumstances: "What a MAROON, what an IMBECILE!"
These stories are hilarious, now we know why the military dummy proofs everything.
