Riding a moose...?

Guys make a good living and spectators come from far and wide to watch bull and bronc riding at the rodeo. Strange how sociaty accepts it at times and not at all at other times. Kind of funny actually. The moose was not harmed or killed and its not every day you get an oppertunity to ride a mooseLaugh2. I have more outrage for the cowardly cops that shot and killed a defenceless bear in Newmarket for no good reason besides the bear wanted to leave....
 
Not a great idea and shouldn't be done, but who cares let it go. I don't think we have a moose riding epidemic getting started here. They will get all the punishment and more if they get caught.
 
I am thinking that was a pretty young moose. I met a guy once who tried to ride a bull moose like that at night( he was a young , drunk bull rider, ) said it nearly killed him. He did not do it again.
 
10/10 would watch again. Its terrible he jumped on that poor moose. Im sure a hairless ape scares a moose more then a bear would. That moose would have been much happyer to have had a bullet rip through its lungs and choke to death in its own blood. Guy was playing around, nobody was hurt. What a hypersensitive time we live in.
 
Let's see, they chased it with a boat into deeper water and then jumped on its back like a predator would. You guys don't think that could cause high levels of stress on that animal? Animals can have a heart attack just being trapped for relocation. What they do could have easily killed that moose from either heart attack or drowning. Those ass hats deserve what punishment they get just so other ass hats don't try to do the same.
 
bull/bronco riding? children riding sheep? calf roping? breaking a horse? fish tanks? bird cages? kids chasing chickens?... where's the outrage! Pretty sure none of the animals happily enjoy those activities quite like us hairless apes, and yet people will pay to see animals stressed to the max in a ring, and or store them in a completely unfair and unnatural habitat...

Naysayers on this forum probably watch those prior events without a bother, but throw in a moose and this turns into a curse word in sunday school.
Im all for respecting wild animals, but dont preach from a pulpit your not actually willing to stand behind.

In the end, the moose got away unharmed albeit probably a little shocked, a story was had, beers were drank, and memories were made....last year.
Chances are the next guy to try this ends up on the negative side of a highly agitated moose... I'll laugh at that video as well.

Hayya Trazor...............a bull in a pen can defend hizzself iff'in he wishes.
An animal out in open water has so much energy and once it's spent, the
kritter drowns.
There was mention of the moose in the video running on shallow water turf.
Don't see this for a moment.
They swim hard and consume calories.
The hound here swims like this moose in the video.
She paddles really hard and pushes herself up out of the water if
she needs to see something.
Amazing at the lack of her under water.

Some on here need to dummy the fruck up..........me now too.......... :wave:

Well said.
I bet no one would complain about my kids chasing chickens around my backyard because I "own" them.
 
The moose suffered no harm....was it traumatized..I doubt it, they deal with packs of wolves on their asses all the time. Wood ticks traumatize moose more then 100 humans will ever. Flame on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And when the moose died from being stressed ... then what?
Do we know the Moose died, I do not know, but have some class and some respect for Mother Natures Animals.
Just my .05 worth .

Did you say riding a moose?

Yup, this place for sure needs a good dose of "lighten up" LOL
If a guy is dumb enough to jump off a sky scraper in a flying squirell suit and I'm okay with it, why would i care if a guy wants to risk his life trying to ride a wild moose? I highly doubt the animal was any more than pissed off. Anyone who thinks that what was shown on the video would cause stress to a moose enough to make it die.... Hasn't the first clue about moose LOL
While I wouldn't suggest someone try, and ya, they probably should get a fine or a stern talking to (for the use of the boat) , I'm sure that moose probably came away from the experience learning a life prolonging lesson... Stay the f#ck clear of those hairless apes LOL

You have any kids? You ever take them to a zoo and see wild animals caged and stressed and bound to a life behind bars. It's the thing to do with children...lets take them to a zoo and support the caging of wild animals. I see kids going for rides on elephants and marine mammal stuck in aquariums. Society pays and supports it world wide. So what if some guy go's for a ride of a lifetime, at least he's not taking his kids to a zoo to show them how many animals can be caged in one place.....

The way that it's done in the video is they tucker the moose out first by circling the moose for a while so it's not really the same as what I think your buddy did, Otherwise the moose would sort this situation out himself. I don't quite think it's cruel but I don't think it's good. The guys should get some fines or something but I don't think they have done anything that terribly bad. #### like this has gone on up here for generations, this is the first time people down south have heard about it and it's big news to them and not something they are used to.
