Beware Fake Moose Photos

The St. Ignace News wishes to clarify that widely-circulated emails of photographs purporting to show a moose calf born in Naubinway were not at any time printed in this newspaper, as the emails claim. Some of the e-mails fraudulently use the logotype of this newspaper. The calf and its mother are shown near the front door of a house. The information about the moose calf is not authentic, and at least one Web site uses the same photographs with a similar story about the calf being born in another state. This newspaper cautions readers that such hoaxes could be designed to transmit computer viruses.

I still want to see moose while driving through the UP of Michigan.
