Are you going to prosecute a moose? So if you push a moose out of an airborne plane and view it falling you are in double trouble? What if you take a picture of it and it falls on a sleeping bear and wakes it up? Concealed slingshots? We yap about gun control, lets talk about slingshot control! Two final thoughts; Kangaroos. KANGAROOS.
THE WINNER OF THE QOTN IS *Drum roll*
