This person has very little commonsense and that's putting in nicely. It is quite disturbing to see ignorance cause the death of anything. This guy has made so many mistake it's mind boggling and yes there should be some consequences for such irresponsibility. The video says it all, shows all the guy did wrong and how he created a dangerous situation buy his lack of patients. In the beginning of the video where he first sees the moose he is clapping his hands, making vocal noises while moving forward towards the animal increasing himself as a threat, first mistake. Second mistake, he gives the animal 14 seconds and than approaches the animal. During the 14 seconds there was no threat and the animal had little to no interest in the sledder, that's obvious in the video. The guy during the first 14 seconds has already screwed up twice now. What could he have done? he could have just stayed in place and waited it out. Would the animal have attacked or would he have retreated? We don't know for sure but the fact is there was no threat at that point and that is obvious from the animals mannerisms. After 14 seconds the guy closes the distance by about half and that is not an exaggeration. So, by closing the gap, did the guy feel threatened? If so, why did he precede forward closer to the animal? If there is a threat you retreat or do nothing to provoke, threaten, aggravate,,etc,,,,,This moron does the opposite for some unknown reason and to assume he is hastily trying to get to the hospital or something similar is not reasonable and should not be enter the scenario. So now the man closes the distance severely,,,,, and from the mannerisms of the moose, the moose is threatened and warns the guy with a charge and turns away. So at the 30 second mark after the moose warns the guy, what does the guy do? He escalates the situation by moving forward africkengain,,,,,are you kidding me!
The moose shows strength with a charge but no attack and the man moves forward, animal comes back and attacks. At this point there is potential for a life threatening situation but this guy caused it all and that is where he felt the need to kill the animal,,,,,all for nothing. This whole situation is a real shame and I bet this man,,,if he didn't have a gun probably would have not approached the animal in the same way,,,but that is speculation yet a reasonable assumption which begs the question. \
Even more disturbing is just how many people on this thread see the same thing where the guy makes serious mistakes and presents himself as a danger to a large capable animal and is forced to kill it. The disturbing part is where this happens with people all the time such as Travon Martin and George Zimmerman yet I do not hear of the threat that GZ presented himself as. Most of us see human life as sacred and would reserve severs force as a last stand yet when carrying power one will present themselves as powerful when in reality a retreat will preserve life. It's a fine line to hold and requires wisdom, education, responsibility, common sense, patients,,,,etc,,,, where as none of these attributes are present with this guy killing the moose or GZ killing TM. It's a common occurrence and you bet your arse that this sort of irresponsibility only promotes more regulating and less freedom,,,bottom line,,ignorant people causes grief for all of us. Soon we will see more gun control because we force it upon ourselves with poor displays of irresponsibility.
