!!!!!!!
incredible. I haven't seen anything like that since our ex-ranger showed us pics of what a cow looks like after being hit by a LAW rocket.

the story is that they were stringing wire in Alaska, and they do, like, five-mile segments at a time, and then use a hydraulic pump to pull the last five miles tight.

well, they were reeling it up and it felt too heavy, so they backtracked the last section they strung...apparently, this SPORTS-crazed moose got incensed and attacked the wires and got tangled by the antlers and dragged into the sky!

he was alive when they cut him down, but they shot and killed him anyway.

Good thing they killed it, animals and trees just get in the way.

Allegedly they couldn't free it from the wires which is why they killed it. They didn't want to tranq it because it would've "ruined the meat" though, so maybe they were driven by Free Moose Meat Monday.

their explanation for killing it was so convoluted. they couldn't free it without tranqing it, but they were worried that it was so stressed that tranqing it would kill it. so they got around that by killing it. then they "donated the meat to a local resident".

essentially, they killed it and gave the meat to one of their buddies. all the rest seems to be post de facto justification for that action. the news article i saw even had the guy who did it gloating about how huge its antlers were and trying to finagle them back from the power company (who had confiscated them?) as a trophy.

Yeah I was expected a "the moose lived and there was much rejoicing" story then halfway through "we shot and ate it because.... we.... yeah.... LOOK OVER THERE!" Sucks.

 

[xfer]

we shot it because we didn't want to take a chance it might die.

maybe they shipped a couple of flanks out to the half ton man!!

that's why I'm going to balance out the karma of this thread with these:

I watched that Holy Grail scene in slow motion while stoned once. Swear the fucker bit me.
