BULLWINKLE NEEDS GLASSES

The following photos record an encounter between a moose and a statue of an American Bison in Big Sky, Montana. There was an attempt to prevent damage to the statue by throwing stones at and hitting the moose. The moose could not be dissuaded and kept up his assault for many hours. The incident even caused a traffic problem, as you can well imagine.

There was some damage to the statue:
 1) The loss of about two inches from the left horn.
 2) Hoof scratches on the side of the bison.
 3) Some chips in the right rear hoof.
 4) Blood stains behind the bison.
 
 The bison was also moved eight inches forward on the pedestal, and attempts to re-center it were to no avail.
