A family in Spokan, Washington, enjoyed a middle summer day at home when they suddenly noticed something huge in their yard – or to be specific, three things.
What happened?
The family shared the story with the local KHQ news station on an involuntary host of three moose for one afternoon.
“They actually stayed a few hours,” said Kerry Ann Kramer, who was home at the time with her two daughters and their cat identified by KHQ as Marshmellow.
“I guess they eat and then have to absorb their button and lie down and enjoy the grass there,” she added.
In fact, a few photos showed the moose only on the feet of the house, sailing and resting in the yard.
But when the moose began to approach the fruit trees of the family, Carrie Ann decided to drive them out. However, just the blow to the window does not work.

“They must be used to people – they didn’t move,” she explained.
Fortunately, her daughter discovered that when she blown into a long PVC tube, the strong sound was enough to send the moose on the way, leaving the fruit trees intact and the threaded with a good history.
Why do these types of meetings get up?
This meeting was harmless on all sides, but overall, when the wildlife ends up in urban and suburban regions, it does not end well.
Whether the meeting of the human-life leads to injuries or not, authorities often graduate with euthanizing animals that become too accustomed to human presence to prevent future meetings.
Unfortunately, these types of meetings are becoming increasingly common as human development continues to enter wild land and habitat.
As the human population has jumped in the last century – passing from 1 billion to over 8 billion over a period of 200 years, in our world in data – it is no wonder that animals are watching more than their homes to disappear to make people.
The gravant and often illegal use of man by natural resources also disrupts and displaces wild animals. This is especially obvious in industries such as logging and deep -sea trawl, which both destroy the fragile ecosystems daily in huge areas.
People also suffer from animal conflict. According to a report of 2021 from the UN Environment Program, “The Conflict of Man-Wildlife is an as much development and humanitarian issue as the concern concerning the income of farmers, herdars, craft fishing and root peoples, especially those who live in poverty.”
How can we prevent these meetings in the future?
It is obvious that the question of the joint existence of the man-Wildlife is complicated. The UNEP report encouraged politicians to stop neglecting the problem. Ultimately, maintaining healthy and balanced ecosystems is crucial for ensuring a sustainable future for every living organism on Earth.
At the regional level, many different approaches have been more or less successful in modeling the joint existence of man-and-life. These approaches usually include education and targeted solutions that are actually beneficial for the people who are most affected by the presence of animals.
Even something as simple as a wildlife bridge over a busy highway can keep people and animals in their respective sails (literally, in this case).
The International Network for the Joint Existence of Wildlife said the key is to “work with nature, not against it.”
“When we analyze science and look at the needs of the community and wildlife, we can develop solutions that are practical, mutually beneficial to humans and wildlife and build long -term sustainability,” the organization notes.
