This is gonna be absolutely crazy and coincidental since seemingly everyone here has a moose story, but my freshman year of highschool we had a bit of a lockdown because a moose wandered on campus. Our school was nowhere near a forest or any other area where it could have easily wandered over. Our school was pretty far in our pretty big city.
This is not me playing a bit because of all the moose comments. I thought it was a deer, until I asked my mom because I couldn’t remember whether I was right or not. I only remembered it wasn’t super serious, but we were told we couldn’t go outside because of it and I think we were also told to stay away from the windows as well, as a safety precaution.
I was in the middle of English in the morning when this was happening.
Edit:
I don’t remember how it got onto our campus and might look it up later. Might even leave another edit with how it got on campus.
The bigger ones weigh almost a full tonne. Bulls can take offense to your existence if you get too close or it is mating season, and Cows will protect their calves, but in general moose are docile and normally avoid humans. The fact one was spotted in the middle of a city means it is an outlier for any number of reasons (rabies?) and as such all bets are off.
IDK how dangerous they are, but given the fact there was a large wild animal on campus, I’d definitely treat it like a dangerous threat considering it probably almost never happens.
Also, last thing I’d want as the principal is to have to explain to parents why their idiotic children went to take pictures with a moose and got hurt because of it.

It was a deer
(Because a moose is a deer)
My school went on a soft lockdown and pulled people in gym class from the fields because a bear came on campus and was roaming in the parking lot.
…are moose dangerous? I am not well-versed on meese.

Ah the liability piece definitely makes sense.
Moose are one of those rare animals that might kill you just because they feel like it and are jerks.
Yes, if only cos of how big they are
Most of the deaths they cause are being hit by cars, but sometimes the males can get aggressive
Just stay away from them and you’re fine, but as rule don’t fuck with something as big as a moose
Moose are about as dangerous as a cow
Extremely

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by …
