Will the carnage never end?

Maine has had four (human) fatalities involving moose since Memorial Day.  The latest:  motorcycle/moose collision on the Interstate, a clear case of fighting out of your weight class.

Maybe we should report Bullwinkle to Homeland Security.

If we can prove that Canada is training attack moose, we can get federal funds...

Who'd send a moose to do a beaver's job?

Perhaps because beaver are too smart for a suicide mission? All I know is, what we're getting is moose. Meanwhile, the beaver are quietly blocking up all the culverts to flood us out.

But it's all covered under the "Blame Canada" clause.

Well, that's the difference between a combat engineering branch (beavers) and the cavalry (moose): The engineers go after infrastructure, while the cavalry go for glory.
