To the editor: The danger of a cow moose: For those not in the know, a cow moose with calves is like any mother of the wild, very protective. I know full well; as a child in Alaska my brother went to pet a calf with mom nearby. She almost killed him. Those who think that the officers did not have any other choice should really question their own ethics and knowledge. This is a wild animal that will react to a threat, whether to herself or calves, with deadly consequences. This will not be the last instance, either. As the animals populate, spread and mix into human habitation this scenario will happen again, whether it be moose, wolves, bears, or mountain lions (that don’t exist). When you ask Mother Nature into your backyard, be sure you’re ready for the choices that will face us not only as a community but as co-habitants of the same ground. Calves, cubs, pups, etc.
