Moose on the loose

I found this e-mail rather amusing:


TO: UAF students

FROM: Police Chief

SUBJECT: Moose on campus

This is a reminder that moose living near the University of Alaska Fairbanks may pass through campus. Members of the campus community should use common sense if they come in contact with wildlife and be aware that wildlife could be present, especially in the wooded areas of campus.

Do not attempt to feed wild animals or try to approach them.

The University Police Department has had a dramatic increase in the number of reports of moose on the Fairbanks campus this year and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is reporting an increase in the Fairbanks area moose population.

Moose can be easily frightened, have been known to charge without  notice and can be especially dangerous when trying to protect offspring.

If you see a moose on campus, please call the UAF Police Department.
