Oh Deer! It's a Drunken Elk!

Where: Sweden
November 14, 2006 at 9:36 AM | by amandak | 0 Comments


Here we go again. We've seen it before, what happens when man meets nature--you might remember the drama in Germany during the World Cup when Bruno the Bear terrorized tourists in southern Germany and the Austrian alps. Now the problems have drifted further north to Sweden, where a drunken elk is the new threat.

The as-yet nameless elk (we're open to suggestions) snacks on fermented apples and then goes crazy in Molndal, southern Sweden. Just like earlier this year with Bruno, authorities have given the order that allows hunters to kill him on sight. Cue the environmentalists, tourist boards, media, T-shirt printers and internet game developers who'll all have their bit to say. And how will the story end? Our friend Bruno ended up dead. The 1100-pound, erratically behaving elk's fate is your guess.
