Default Somebody call PETA

In one of those only-in-Alaska stories that will shock even the sourest of sourdoughs, a trophy-sized bull moose was accidentally strung up in a power line under construction to the Teck Pogo gold mine southeast of Fairbanks. The moose apparently got its antlers tangled in electrical wire before workers farther down the line pulled the line tight about two weeks ago.

These guys are screwed. Everyone knows PETA has WAY too much time and money on it's hands.

I'm surprised they haven't come after me yet about Petz abuse.

Now it raises some questions...

How long was the moose up there?
And with no food, how did he survive?
What was the moose doing there in the first place?

Is the moose still up there? Is it still alive?

That must've hurt it's head.

The moose was alive when it was lowered to the ground but was later killed when officials from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game decided against tranquilizing it to remove the wires because they were worried the moose, already stressed, would die and the meat would not be salvageable as a result of the drugs.
What heck! All the people care about is using the moose for food. They should've tried to save it knowing there was a chance it would die instead of thinking, "Well, we shouldn't spoil the meat, let's kill it."

Humans, only thinking of themselves. Just for that, I think I'm going to encourage teenagers not to vote. That should balance things out.

What else is the damn thing good for? Getting stuck in power lines? Come on, even the lowest of animals must be shaking their heads. Let this be a lesson to other moose, don't mess with your God's electricity.

Read the statement you quoted again and think it out.
