Well of course First Student would blame the driver. She obviously didn't check her mirrors for oncoming/nearby moose. |

Don't worry, FS will have a company-wide policy by the end of the week. I've never seen a moose here in CT, but I'm sure we will be told that if we don't do an extra mirror check for them, we'll be fired. |

Good lord... That is a bizarre story! I read the news article, and if you haven't, it says that the moose was agitated by a large barking dog that was loose in the area.. So this is a good example of why leash laws are important. If that dog has an owner, the owner should have not let him roam free! |

Emily...you obviously don't live in Alaska. Dogs are family here. They don't roam...they 'go visiting' :-) |

Or in this case, agitate a moose to the point that it lashed out against a 6 yr old boy ;) Don't get me wrong, I love dogs.. I have a jug (1/4 jack, 3/4 pug, 4/4 adorable), but there is nothing wrong IMO with making sure that dogs are trained well enough not to cause this sort of thing :) |

"The mother was watching him walk down the road because there was a moose in the area,"
Moose Watch means you meet your child at the stop. Moose wander everywhere, especially this time of year. They are hungry and grumpy. I've put my bus between a charging moose and a student walking to school. Moose and bears...we learn to live with them. Now...if only those bears would stay out of my freezer for their late night snack... |
