And why would you pick on those animals? Some college campuses consider squirrels as secondary mascots.

That's because you don't run over a moose. Moose are tall enough to fall into the front seat of the car, giving driver instant moose-sandwich in his mouth.
Sweden has much moose. Our king gets out every year and shoots himself some. It's the yearly moose hunt. Moose kebab is one of the juiciest kebab fillings on the face of this earth.

Moose curry would go down extremely well. It is solid meat, tastes very "wild" (some call it gamy, but not in a bad way).
The real way to eat moose comes from Norrland, below Lapland. Moose stew or roast in swedish chanterelle sauce, with some currant-jelly or lingonberry jam. For dessert, hot cloudberries with vanilla ice cream. Cloudberries are cool.

Um, cloudberries. Hjortron in swedish. Amber-colored, raspberry-looking things. Grows best in the northern half of Sweden. Doesn't taste like raspberry, though, in fact I couldn't describe it to you if I had a week. Great jam (served hot), even better liqueur.
The name is similar to 'smultron', the baby version of strawberries (like baby corn vs. regular), and 'hjort' is our word for stag, deer. Our deer and reindeer also being secluded to the north.
