SOMEONE KILLED RARE WHITE MOOSE
The killing of a rare white moose in Canada has shocked residents of Timmins, Ontario. Residents have long swapped stories of a ghostly white moose population occasionally spotted moving through forests of aspen and pine. The white moose are said to be “spirit” animals in the First Nation community. But poachers recently killed two female moose, including one white cow. The remains, including their heads, were left discarded along a remote service road. The moose are not albinos, but get their color from a recessive gene. Among Indigenous peoples in the region, white animals like bison, raven and grizzly bears, are considered sacred and shouldn’t be harmed.
* And no, I’m absolutely NOT going to make a “white privilege” joke here.
* The killing of a Native American spirit animal can’t be good. There’s a whole subgenre of horror movies devoted to it.
* I’ll bet it was the dentist who killed Cecil the Lion in 2015.
* May the killers’ spirits be doomed to walked the earth for an eternity of moons. Or, at the least, a hefty fine and some kind of public service.
* Surely you’ve heard of chocolate mousse. This is white chocolate mousse.
