SUMMARY

The moose cow, referred to as Ms. Tyra Moose, has successfully given birth to a calf despite having a car tire stuck around her neck. However, both the mother and calf are now at risk of being culled during the upcoming Autumn moose hunt, as they are prioritized targets due to the tire. Wildlife officials previously attempted to sedate Ms. Tyra but were unsuccessful, leading to a controversial debate about the ethics of euthanizing the animals versus attempting further rescue efforts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of wildlife management practices

  • Investigate the impact of human waste on wildlife
  • Explore ethical considerations in wildlife culling practices
USEFUL FOR

Wildlife enthusiasts, animal welfare advocates, hunters, and individuals interested in wildlife management and conservation efforts.

Tyred moose has birthed a calf!

During last Winter, a moose cow was observed who had a car tyre stuck around its neck. (Pictures in link)
Now, she has birthed a calf, but troubles are looming on the horizon:

Ms. Tyra Moose and her calf has been placed on top of list for animals to be killed during the Autumn moose hunt.

What!? :cry:
 
Yes, they made a couple of desultory attempts to sedate her during Winter, but didn't come close enough.

NOW, they are arguing that they might disturb/break up the mother/child relationship if they try to sedate her.

Hence, more merciful to kill'em both, don't you think? :devil:

That's horrible! It's moose abuse! :cry:
 
It looks like it can live with the tyre, why do they have to kill it?
 
I don't think it is a matter of "having" to kill. I understand they do kill some part of moose population each year to limit the numbers - and animal with a tyre on the neck is definitely a better target than the one without a tyre.

They have a quota on 23 moose to be killed up there, I'm sure it will be an extra thrill for the hunters who gets to lay down Tyra.
 
Why not send them to Moose Land? :cry:

At the very least, we should require that Inspector Moose investigates the case, and endeavours to find out the truth behind this.

Moose are delicious, and much leaner than cattle.

I wouldn't want bits of that tyre in my moose stew, though.

Not an issue, I have every confidence that my wife could take down that moose without hitting the tire :).
