A MOOSE COLLISION CLASS ACTION SUIT!

[Edward Smith]

In a recent issue of the Scope newspaper, there was an article written by Kerri Breen, on a class action suit moose collision victims are trying to start against the Government of Newfoundland & Labrador. There claim is that, "because the government of Newfoundland brought the animals here in 1912, it would be guilty of negligence if the hazard was foreseeable back then." Basically, a case of "public nuisance."

I have to say this is by far the weirdest case I have ever heard of! And, I might add seems like a waste of tax payers dollars to defend against! I really do not see how the government can be held liable for this, especially in the cases where speed was a factor! But, this is my opinion!

What do you think?

In a recent release by VOCM, entitled SOPAC Continues Pleas to Control Moose Problem, says the chair of SOPAC (Eugene Nippard) claims that the moose problem in the province is out of hand. Nippard States "the only way anything is going to get accomplished, is if they all sit around a table and talk. He thinks the wildlife officers should be there as well, because they know about the subject better than anyone."
