I know of a rescue moose named Mary- seriously. She was a young moose in the nearby town of Fernie (awesome ski hill) that the locals started feeding. She lost her fear of people so the local Forestry officials took her to an old guy who's referred to as "The Moose Whisperer"- I'm not making this honeysuckle up!
Mary Christmoose!

It will be a good Christmas for Mary, the calf moose named by West Fernie residents. Mary the moose was successfully translocated on Dec. 16 by the Fernie Conservation Officer Service (COS).
“It was reported to conservation officers through the RAPP line and from personal calls that the female calf moose was living in the West Fernie area in peoples back yards,” said Conservation Officer Patrica Burley. “The cow was known to be struck and killed on Hwy 3 just west of Fernie. The calf has been living around people since then for the last 3-4 months.”
The translocation of ungulates is not a common practice for the CO’s to conduct.
“The immobilization drugs can be hard on the animal causing them more stress and a difficult recovery,” said Burley. “Not all ungulates that are immobilized and translocated recover from the drugs or survive in their new surroundings.”
The B.C. provincial wildlife vet, wildlife biologists and COS do not support the public feeding wildlife such as deer and moose in residential areas. It is the same concept as bears; the wildlife becomes habituated to people (lose their fear) and become dependent on people for food. Some people had been hand feeding the moose.
“Mary was being fed continuously by West Fernie residents,” said Burley. “Even though people may think they are helping the young calf, they are doing more damage to it by making it comfortable around humans. The calf had reportedly charged and stomped at residents which reminds people how dangerous they can be.”
Mary is a Shiras moose weighing approximately 113-136 kilograms, but will grow to weigh about 226 kgs. (500 lbs). Shiras moose in the southern eastern areas of B.C. are genetically smaller than the Western/Canada and Alaska moose found in northern B.C., the Yukon and Alaska.
For public safety reasons the CO’s removed the calf to an area north of Sparwood at Ken Musil’s ranch. Musil has accepted three other translocated moose in the past to start off on his property before moving on to live normal lives.
Mary will be corralled and will be fed willows, straw and maybe a carrot or two to regain her strength. She will likely stay on the ranch for the winter to make it through the harsh weather conditions. In the spring she will be free to graze and move on. Musil has cattle and horses on his ranch and the three previous relocated moose were not a problem with the farm animals.
The COS would like to thank the volunteer’s that helped with the relocation of Mary the Christmas moose and thank Ken Musil for his generous help with orphaned moose.

Apparently it's both sides of BC, I know a few of those types....sometimes I've gotta burn incense in my truck to 'mask' the smell of the previous driver.

Some guy who has been messaging me for a bit...
Him: We could meet for breakfast at (insert local restaurant here).
Me: Would you really make me get up early the ONE day I get to sleep in?
Him: Yep if that is what it takes, it would be around 9 or 10 o'clock. I think you can handle that.
Me, thinking: Go fresia yourself. I don't know you and you don't know me. You don't know what I can handle and what I can't. Am I not god enough for a dinner date or even a lunch date? WTF, a breakfast date? One I CLEARLY don't want?
Seriously?
My actual reply:
My mom watches my little one when I need her to, but I wouldn't ask her to get up earlier than she normally does, for me to go somewhere. I'll pass on the breakfast, but I do thank you for the invitation.
From another site, just a few minutes ago...I can't even FATHOM wtf this guy is babbling on about!
One of his "three questions" to ask me was a standard question from the site, "If you had three wishes, what would they be?"
My reply was this:
If you had three wishes, what would they be?
Wow. I'm not sure how to answer this one. If the sky was the limit, three wishes would buy a lot of world peace and prosperity. One could eliminate hunger, disease and the suffering of others. Those things are what I would wish for. Can you imagine a world with no suffering?
I swear, this was his actual reply, copied and pasted:
There's one problem who is going to pay for it?? We are so messed up with regulations and laws we cant even talk with out getting sued or being called a racist.
Good luck on your journey. I prey for my, are children they will have to pay for are dep't and crazy ness.
This is my reply and I doubt I'll ever hear anything more and quite frankly, don't WANT to!!
umm....I'm not really sure what your message means. Pay for what? Whose craziness? Where does racism come into play with anything I've said? Surely you don't mean my answer to the "three wishes" question?

I'm still sort of confused over the rant. Not sure how litigation and racism come into play with that either.

I have never really "dated"..more so "hung out". I brought my first boyfriend home to meet my parents. We were gonna watch a movie in the basement, so he went down to wait for me. I guess he decided to check out the tools my dad had on the other side. My younger sister and I walked in on him, smacking his hand with a hammer and saying, " you ******* you are going to die!"

^^I was reading Eve's latest encounters and chuckling, and shaking my head ... and thinking, would SayNotoWorldPeace guy agree to it if lets say, Hitler brought in, on the backs of high employment (arms) anti-anti racism (a guy? can't spell? complete fuckwit --- no problem as long as you are WHITE yay) and a free uniform? Yup. Get those jackboots out, he'll wear them.
Sorry. I am out or order there. I'm sure he wouldn't turn into a facist, not really.
Anyway after a bit of a chuckle I read ^JSG 's post and my jaw dropped so hard it hit the floor! Clunk.... surprised you didn't hear it across the Atlantic. OMG! I literally cannot think of a single thing to say about that one.. Admittedly it is morning here and I am waiting for my coffee to be ready, but still. just ..omg
