Moose: Newfoundland’s Walking Roadside Bombs

I heard a radio ad on VOCM recently by the Save Our People Action Committee saying moose are "Newfoundland's walking roadside bomb".  Well, that's certainly a very fitting description - moose are responsible for a large number of collisions on our highways each year, resulting in innocent people being seriously injured or even killed.

In case you haven't heard the ad, the text version of it is below, or you can listen to the audio version here.
