Today in Newfoundland and Labrador a lawyer is blaming the provicnical government for the dramatic increase in accidents occurring with moose on the roads.
Nearly 700 moose are hit annually in Newfoundland and Labrador. A full grown moose can grow and weigh up to 750kg or 1 653 lbs. This is an incredibly big animal held up four small legs making it a deadly animal to hit on the road.
There is roughly 1 moose per kilometer squared throughout Canada meaning that there are a lot but not as much as many other animals. People drive as if there drive will be free of obstacles, in many parts of Canada this is not true, drivers must drive cautiously and protectively. Often it is not the drivers fault for just regular accidents but other drivers around driving poorly.
The lawyer is blaming the provincial government of Newfoundland and Labrador for the increase in moose accidents. In my opinion this accusation is unrealistic and crazy if it was up to the provincial government to prevent these accidents what are they supposed to to kill moose? No, it is the driver on the roads responsibility to put their seatbelts on and to be safe and protective drivers on the road. Although the moose is a big animal it is still is an animal and not a human. Animals get stunned when they are in the headlights of a massive car meaning that they will stop the driver has to swerve and dodge this animal it is not the animals fault. When you think about it humans as a species have taken away millions and millions of acres of land that these massive animals used to inhabit and it is not there problem for wandering where their "old home" used to be.
This is bad and you should feel bad.
