    No, that would be the Human. Very few creatures foul their own nests and no other creature would ever knowingly manufacture plutonium. Other species have wars, but none to the awful perfection level that humans have achieved. Other species have attempted genocide on other creatures, however, humans are far more effective. Even extinguishing those that are directly beneficial to the continued survival of the race. Some creatures might not get out of the way of their own distruction, however, no other species willingly participates.

    Default Moose is good food

    Too bad for the Moose, but there is a hunting season on Moose in Alaska, so might as well eat that moose and shoot one less during hunting season.

    Just common sense.

    I bet that moose was delish!!!
    Yes, I'm a carnivore an proud of it! The anatomy of human eye and ear placement makes us meat eaters. PETA people should get over it, it's biological.

    Default Moose on a wire

    Huh....Let's see.
    The moose is alive. But lets kill it anyways, because if it happens to die while we try to save it, we won't be able to eat it! Nice! F!*#ing idiots. Sounds like somebody just wanted an antler trophy.
    Yea, we're having rosted moose for dinner!

    Default BBQ Moose

    Then again, i don't know anything about what stress does to a moose. Maybe it was the right thing to do. Who knows. I'm just in a bad mood today, so f!*# them anyways!
    Please pass the BBQ sauce!

    I am not a wildlife biologist but I think if readers talk to one they will find that the mortality rate on moose as well as deer and caribou is quite high when the animal is tranquilized. The process itself of tranquiling is stressful. Some may even consider the mortality rate as unacceptably high. These are animals that have not been hung from a transmission line.

    Tranquilized bears seem to fare a lot better. Each winter bear studies are done in Maine to check for popultion levels and health and the mortality rate for these animals is low or non-existant.

    Some years back caribou were re-introduced to Katahdin. Some were lost in transport. I don't know if they were sedated before traveling but these animals are normally high strung anyway. The re-introduction was a failure, altough not necessarily because of the transport issue.

    I would be willing to bet that the moose would have died no matter what was done to save it.

    I appologize. I didn't read the "OFF TOPIC" rules. I thought "Off Topic" was talking about hiking on trails other than the AT. I'll butt out now.

    Hey Sprocket. I live in Kansas. I'm not from Kansas :-) I think mesquite would be preferable to apple. Perhaps one part hickory to 3 parts mesquite? I think a syringe of Jack Daniels and molasas would do the trick.MMMMMM....... Proud member of PETA

    Formulating your own thoughts is a lot of work for some people.
