Canadians Are Being Warned Not To Let Moose Lick Their Cars (No, We’re Not Joking)
Carscoops | November 17, 2020 | Brad AndersonCanadians are being warned not to let moose lick their cars. It might sound like a weird joke, but it’s actually true.
Over the weekend, images posted to Twitter appeared to show a sign in Jasper, Alberta stating ‘Do not let moose lick your car.’ The images gained so much attention that Snopes set out to determine if the sign was real. The answer is, yes, the sign is legit and this is a very real issue in parts of Canada.
These images, as well as a separate video on Facebook, were snapped along Maligne Lake Road in Jasper, an area where moose are frequently seen during the winter months. As it turns out, the moose love the taste of road salt and have discovered that they can access a near-endless supply from the body panels of cars.
…
Not to mention that it is also against the law that prohibits people to feed or disturb wildlife in national parks, with violators facing fines of up to $25,000.
Even if it’s an Elk Camino?
I got no car, and it’s breaking my heart.
But I got a salt-starved moose, and that’s a start.

How about squirrels? Can they still lick?
Q: How do you stop a moose from licking your car? A: Very carefully.
Also advisable…do not let moose stomp the hell out of you when you attempt to stop them from licking your car.
I’m wondering, given the prevalence of sub-zero temperatures in Canada, how many people come out to their cars in the morning to find a moose stuck to it by its tongue?
Even worse are the ones that want a BB-Gun for Christmas.

Honey, how many times have I told you? Don’t put salt on that! This is a PG site!
