The same way they get the moose to do
it up here.  The training program is
very rigorous.

It starts when they are very young.
The program includes elementary darting
and weaving drills taught by squirrels
at the beginning, and evolves into real
road-crossing exercises conducted by
chickens.

Advanced moose training is lead by deer
special forces squads.  The final exam
is really tough.  You probably have seen
the ones who fail along the road.  The
successes manage to get a car or truck
to run off the road.

Of course, sometimes with the moose,
both the driver and the moose kill each
other.  Part of our program to level the
playing field here.  Sort of like our
bow hunter's bear season.

Merry Christmas,
