A woman and her dog were attacked by a moose on Wednesday, and the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department is investigating into the incident.
A lady was assaulted by a cow moose while she was walking her dog on the South Saint Vrain Trail, which is located north of the hamlet of Ward, which is located outside of Boulder. The incident was reported to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department. The moose assaulted the victim by stepping on her many times and headbutting her.
It has been stated that the unnamed lady walked to the home of a neighbor, where she called the police, and was then transported to a nearby medical facility after making her report. The authorities have not made any statements on the seriousness of her injuries. The woman alleges that she had her dog on a leash at the time of the event, which resulted in the dog sustaining injuries.
After the incident, those in charge of animal conservation searched high and low but were unable to locate the moose. At the beginning of the walk, there was a set of cautionary warnings just in case any visitors ran across an irate moose.
Hikers in Colorado are advised by Colorado Parks and Wildlife to be aware that moose may see dogs as a threat, and the agency also recommends that dog owners always keep their pets on a leash while they are in moose country. It’s possible that a cow moose will show aggressive behavior if her calf is nearby.
It was quite similar to an event that took place in Colorado on Sunday, when a moose attacked and stomped a hiker whose dog had began howling at the animal. The incident that took place on Wednesday included a moose. Officials stated at the time that hikers “were able to get the moose off and tried to run away,” but the animal “continued to chase after them down the trail.”
During the month of June, a cow moose assaulted a guy who was walking two off-leash dogs in the state of Colorado. The moose “stomped on him several times” as the man navigated a hairpin turn in Coal Creek Canyon. Officials from the wildlife agency said that the cow moose was trying to defend her calf when she charged the human and caused injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening. The canines did not sustain any injuries.
