it breaks my heart to see things like this happen. it's like......man

From his perspective, I guess the moose did not go silent into that dark night. I hope we don't, either.

of course... there is another perspective to this sad story... Had the damn moose just lain down, he'd be alive to butt somebody's butt yet today! They WERE just tryin' to tranquilize the poor guy. I guess the real question is whether they should have pursued this moose in the first place, considering the precariousness of its location.

sounds like they may need a new tranquilizer formula, or maybe they just shoulda rolled that moose a joint?

Geesh sure am glad these folks were there to "help" ?!?!?!
