Why would anyone even think to shoot the moose-I guess it's just because humans have guns and they can. Why on earth do humans feel teh need to control even living species? Because they have the weapons and they can. I wish they could be put on the other side - meaning the moose having the weapons and deciding to shoot the humans. Cruelty to animals is a sign of a sad world. Whatever happened to teh golden rule? When people say it's only a moose what does that mean? Isn't it the same to say it's only a human. Have a heart do what is right- treat all living things as you would want to be treated.
