Mark Skage said he was fired for the act. His employer, AFD Petroleum Inc., let him go for breaking wildlife protocols.

Don't post it online. He wanted attention and he got it. Be a fucking silent hero.

Clearly a sweet man trying to do what he thought was the right thing, but I can't say I disagree with his employer's decision. Picking up wild animals off the side of the road in his company vehicle... Not the best idea.

Anyway, we humans dont need to interfere in everything. Circle of life an all that; bears need to eat, too.

Please read the article. It refutes some of what you've said here.

I did read the article, and didnt really present any argument to be refuted...what do you mean?

Why did he decide to rescue the calf, and why did he say it was a good thing instead of leaving it?

[–] blunderworld@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because its a female moose so saving it would save more lives? What, should we tell the bears to only eat male moose from now on?

If you have a point maybe just make it next time instead of being so cryptic.

Did you read the link? Because that was what the guy who saved the calf said. I was simply quoting him.

Imagine thinking you can safely contain and control a baby moose in the passenger side of your truck going 100kmh down a two lane highway without putting innocent people at risk. Maybe if he didn't put the moose INSIDE the truck I could empathize but my god is that a dangerous stunt. The bears and wolves will just eat it later anyway.

The article states the guy has knowledge, doesn't state he was driving 100 kph, and does say the calf was a female so he saved multiple generations of moose.

Please take time to read the article before commenting.
