I'm thinking moose marinated in tranquilizer must be da bomb!

I wish they had not killed it, and I could give a crap if someone had some accident that damaged their car. That's what insurance is for, bunch of bleeding heart insurance protectors!
If its endangering people though guess you gotta do it. Maybe the waste of time was the fault of the crack savy CPS and Animal services and their inability to catch a large mamal on the lose lol

These are from just quick google for accidents in the past month.

As some one who has had a friend killed by an impact with a moose; I say they did the right thing in preventing further harm.

I find it kind of twisted though that the 2nd one has been released in Bragg Creek; where this recently happened....

You realize how big a moose is correct? Have you ever seen the aftermath of a car/truck hitting a moose?

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but moose are mean as hell and aggressive. These aren't like deer who will run away from people 99.9% of the time. Moose are bad ass MerFers. Better safe than sorry. A moose on the loose in a large metropolitan area is a disaster waiting to happen. Many people don't realize how big they are too.
