Moose in Minnesota are dying at an alarming rate. This powerful video, published by the New York Times, examines what biologists are doing to understand why these moose are dying, and what can be done to save them.
It’s 7 minutes long, but it’s worth the watch.
New York Times, of course it’s global “not so” warming. I’m surprised they didn’t blame the free trade agreement as well. I guess the moose population will explode this year as a result of the 102 year record cold winter.
The word imbecile comes to mind.
I don’t quite follow your logic…..the Times are simply reporting a story. It’s the wildlife biologists that they are talking to that are saying is could be linked to climate change. And to clear up your misunderstanding, part of climate change is having drastic fluctuations in weather around the world. Minnesota can have a incredibly cold winter, while Texas is in the middle of its worse drought on record. Global average temperature rises, and in turn cause extremely dramatic weather.
If feeding deer was made illegal in Minnesota it would lessen the spread of ticks. Maybe re-introducing some wolves would also help bring the deer numbers down. It is disgusting how many deer you see on the highway north of Duluth to the Canadian Border. It’s almost impossible to grow a garden there. The Bambi sympathetics feeding deer have caused a real problem.
