Moose: Newfoundland's Roadside Bomb

In Afghanistan, they call them improvised explosive devices, or IEDs.  In Afghanistan, IEDs are responsible for most of the deaths among our serving military, many of whom are Newfoundlanders.

In Newfoundland, we also have a roadside hazard that causes us to travel in fear.  It lurks by the roadside and explodes without warning, shattering motor vehicles and often mangling limbs and taking lives.  It is the moose - Newfoundland's roadside bomb.
