I doubt that it was a moose suicide attempt. I don't think that they have the insight to contemplate their own mortality that we do. And I think they are probably lucky for that! The last half of human life seems to be heavily involved with contemplating death. An author I read once (I can't remember who it was) compared human knowledge of death to a fire burning in the attic, always present, not an immediate threat but doom nonetheless. I thought that was a very interesting way to look at it. If it was really human instinct to hunt, would we care so much about not hitting animals on the road that some people die every year trying to avoid them? I think it's really nice and sweet that the moose lived to tell the tale of his near miss with your car!
