Really! I think killing it was Bull****… I had a bear in my yard when my son was little and all the kids were out playing. The environmental police came and sedated him and took him back to the woods. I don’t think they needed to kill him, they could have stopped traffic so they could have moved him. They are always quick to shoot!!! Wtf

Good idea Tina, the trooper could have yelled Freeze in a loud stern voice and all of the cars would have suddenly stopped and made the area safe. Or they could have tried to organize traffic to a stop. In the mean time, if the Moose ran into traffic and someone’s child was killed, would it have been worth it. I am compassionate about the death of the animal, but understand that our trusted officials made a judgment call in the interest of public safety. Armchair critics, have an easy job pointing out fault without all of the facts.

In the effort of sharing your vast knowledge, maybe you should call the authorities and share your methods Kelly. I am sure they are eager to learn the proper way to do their job.

Well If the moose ran into a moving car you people would be complaining why it wasn’t prevented.

All your comments are heartfelt, but unless you know all the information you shouldn’t pass judgement on the EP. They did what they had to do to protect human lives and causing a major accident at a very busy intersection

Sad, but if they did tranq it and it ran out into an intersection, there would be even more of a cry about why it wasn’t taken care of properly.

Hey Jeff I’m not an armchair critic, lay some credentials behind your name and then you can respond. You dose anything high enough it drops! In Alaska they set up an perimeter to avoid the “shot and bolt” scenario. Peace for that moose. Shame on the EPO or cop that pulled the trigger.
