This guy raised an abandoned moose calf with his Horses, and believe it or not, he has trained it for lumber removal and other hauling tasks. Given the 2,000 pounds of robust muscle, and the splayed, grippy hooves, he claims it is the best work animal he has. He says the secret to keeping the moose around is a sweet salt lick, although, during the rut he disappears for a couple of weeks, but always comes home….
Impressive !! MINNESOTA CLYDESDALEwhy are moose so terrifyingly large
Because they’re pretty much legit surviving Ice Age megafauna and almost everything was bigger back then
his moose leaves for a few weeks to Fuck
And comes back because he figures he has a pretty sweet deal. Oats, salt, probably some treats and scratches, for the price of some basic pulling and advanced not murdering fools?
Sometimes I think people give themselves too much credit for animal domestication. Sometimes the main character of the domestication story is some terrifying beast who reasons, “But salt though.”
