(Newser) – A man was injured north of Anchorage after a moose that he had just kicked stomped his foot in return, state officials said. KTVA-TV reported the man escaped with major injuries in the encounter Thursday with the moose and her calf, the AP reports. "It sounds like the moose were on a trail and in this case, it sounds like the guy was trying to go through them," State Department of Fish and Game spokesman Ken Marsh says. "That's never a good idea." The two moose left the area after the man had his foot stomped, says Alaska Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters.
"I am not a biologist, but as a lifelong Alaskan I would advise people not to go around kicking moose," Peters says. Moose have vast leg strength, Marsh said. "If you get into a kicking contest with a moose, guess who's going to win?" South-central Alaska has seen a number of violent incidents involving moose this spring, including a man who had a moose swipe at him with its hoof while feeding it and a cocker spaniel attacked by a moose in an Anchorage yard. Marsh says moose sightings are on the rise as females prepare for calving season in mid-May.

*Depeche Mode "People Are People" instrumental plays in the background*
Yes, the people responsible for producing this story, have been sacked.
*audience laughs and applauds*
This week on the Top 10 - we debunk the right wing myths surrounding the Youtube shooting, Trump sends troops to the border, Sean Hannity feuds with Jimmy Kimmel, gun nut apologists continue to threaten a high school student, and Ted Nugent goes full Hitler. Also in our weekly sermon of all things holy, Holy Shit, our resident pastor is going to educate you on how to pick the more godly candidate, because, election year. And Jesus. And we have a new edition of Top 10 Investigates and this time we're going to talk about the Waze app - if you use it in downtown Los Angeles, you're probably better off staying on the freeway. Plus we've got a new "This Fucking Guy", er, Gal, and this week it's Infowars and Project Veritas regular Laura Loomer, and whew, she crazy. And we've got a new installment of "People Are Dumb" because, well, people are dumb. And it's Round 1 Week 4 of our Stupidest State contest and we're live from the home of the Chargers, Stub Hub Center, and this time it's a double header as Virginia brings the batshit against last year's champion Texas, while Utah and Missouri duke it out in a Family Values face off! And April is our celebration of all things punk rock and we're kicking it off with a live performance from Suicidal Tendencies! Get that circle pit going, people!
