"Instead of reporting the situation to a conservation officer and allowing the authorities to handle the rescue and relocation of the moose, the individual made the independent decision to transport an uninjured moose calf, a wild animal, in the front seat of his company vehicle for many hours," AFD Petroleum president Dale Reimer said in an emailed statement.

"This not only put the employee and other road users at risk but also potentially caused distress and harm to the moose."

The thing was going to get eaten by a bear, pal. What an asshole.

Definitely! There is almost always more to these type of stories, but most people just want an excuse to be outraged.
