TORONTO - More tales of Canadian grief to report concerning the city's new promotional moose sculptures. The life-sized novelties have been vandalized, kidnapped, and sprayed with graffiti. Toronto's outraged mayor, Mel Lastman, publicly denounced the vandals and arranged for a special patrol, as well as a 24-hour hotline to ward off the moose malignments. So far five of the 28 exhibited throughout the city have been vandalized, and one purchased by the Canadian Red Cross came with a special pal; a fiberglass beaver. Said beaver has also been kidnapped.

I've been so rushed, I haven't had time to comment until now...

However, if you had wanted more immediate response, you shoulda labeled the thread "Beaver Kidnapped in Toronto?"

Isn't it amazing how life imitates art?

What's up with these Mooose anyhow? In New York City, it's Cows. They're everywhere, life sized Cows. You see them in the park, on the streets, at attractions, and riding the subway and buses. Some kind of promotion, that's all anyone could tell me.

Suddenly...(lightbulb)...a new conspiracy theory is born! No one really knows what all these cows and mooses are! We've all "believed" what we've been told..that they are "some sort of" promotion.

If the government was testing, to see if they could put large servellence equipment right in the middle of a city street, without anyone noticing it,..they've found a brilliant disquise. You notice Tricia..that the moose don't say WHAT they're promoting, right? Very strange. Will look into these Moose and Cows further and see what I can find.

Alright, I researched the suspcious Moose and Cow invasion..and I've gotten this shady data...

The Mooses are being sponsered by Labatts (I should have known..Canadians.. sheesh) They are each done by an amateur artist, and they will be sold at auction later, with proceeds going to ???.

The article also mentions that there are cows also in Chicago!!

The New York City Cows are also an art exhibit sponsered by Acquis Consulting. They will be auctioned off to support "God's Love we deliver"...some kind of organization. This article also mentions that are cows in Zurich Switzerland, and there will soon be cows in Stanford, Connecticut and West Orange, New Jersey.


I'm convinced there is something sinister about these Cows and Moose, just can't put my finger on it yet! Something is odd about this!

Of course you can't your figure on it!

They're being protected by guards and beavers .....

Now, getting back to the thread that threatened Grey Bear with getting shot in the words .... (or to your bare figure getting on a moose in Toronto), whichever you prefer....do either of theses threads get an offcial FRL number?

Do they get an alternative beaver number?

Do you get a beaver number?
