Note - the moose struck the van, not the other way around. And yes, this absolutely does happen. It cost a friend of mine $3000 in damages to her (sob!) brand-new car. She doesn’t think they’re “cute” anymore...

Less than $3.5k to go!!

I can’t post a picture at present, but here’s one of a moose and squirrel license plate that went viral earlier this month.

Are there no laws in Maine requiring moose and other animals to have tail lights, triangle caution signs and working headlights if they are using the public thoroughfares? Perhaps someone could set up little stands where the fauna of Maine could rent these items before they go on to public highways.
