Moose chased to exhaustion, beaten by boys

[quote="Douglas_MacNeill"]I say let's keep watch on the police investigation first.

However, if something like what was said to happen actually did happen...(I'll be ready to go after them, too).[/quote]

Aspies should be less inclined to jump to conclusions, since we're always misjudged by people doing just that.

Exactly! My first thought when reading the story was ... I'll bet there's more to this story than we're getting (of course, that's my reaction with most news stories that are controversial or sensational).

I also agree with the previous poster who said it's possible these kids truly didn't realize they were doing anything wrong. They see people hunting animals all the time. It's possible that, in their minds, what they were doing was little different from the hunting they see all around them.

It takes time for a moral sense to be fully developed in children. People aren't born with a fully-developed morality. These kids need to be taught, not treated like criminals. They need to understand what constitutes cruelty to animals, and that it's completely unacceptable.

Well if I had kids and I discovered that they had chased a young animal until it could no longer run as a "sport" then I would be very unhappy with them. I am unsure what should be done with these kids, I think it will be best if the legal process is allowed to get on with it without the general public sticking its oars in.

I would have shot the moose out of its misery if I was there, they said the moose was near death, it was probably going to die from what these brats did to it.
I think the name itself "Moose chased to exhaustion, beaten by boys" gives a pretty good sense of what's to come. I don't think a trigger warning is needed.

They maybe didn't want to pay the moose's medical bill and decided it would be easier to kill it.

too bad they didn't meet the mother

This would have been such a diffrent story had the mother caught up with the kids but I wonder if they would have lied about when and if they recoved like those kids that got mauled by the tiger a few years back.

humans and animals, we're all just meat.

this grants me the right to wish for tremendous, tremendous hurt for those 3 kids.

i wish with everything i got

a lifetime of hurt

This is how wolves hunt in the wild.

I meant that the title should be changed to read *TRIGGER WARNING: Animal abuse* before (or instead of) anything else , because even just descriptions of violence can be triggering.

i am sorry if this is way off topic but complicitytheory your avatar looks too much like leon for me to say nothing

Leon is one of my heroes. He is so cool.

The kids and that dad should all be taken out and beaten with sticks by the community.

Boys' role in moose death unclear, police say

A Newfoundland Wildlife officer shoots a distressed moose in Deer Lake on Aug. 10. (CBC) Police say a shortage of witnesses has left them unconvinced that the Newfoundland boys accused of chasing a young moose to exhaustion in Deer Lake, N.L., on Monday actually did it.

And the father of one of the boys has offered an unusual alibi for them: he told CBC News in Corner Brook that the boys were busy vandalizing a church in Deer Lake when the moose was attacked.

On Tuesday, police said three boys chased the moose on their bicycles and hit it with sticks. They said it was so distressed that a wildlife officer was forced to end its misery with a gun.

On Wednesday, police said that after interviewing eight people, exactly what happened is unclear.

"We're at the point now where nobody has seen how the moose got [into that backyard]," said Deer Lake RCMP Sgt. Jacques Morneau. "We're trying to determine what happened to it prior to its arrival in that yard."

Police say there are no witnesses who saw the three boys chase the moose.

"The moose had to be put down — that we're sure of," said Morneau, "but as far as what happened to it prior, that's what we're looking into right now."

CBC News spoke with the three suspects, who all said they had nothing to do with chasing the moose, on bikes or otherwise.

"We weren't riding bikes that day," said one boy. " [We] went into the yard after a boy told us there was a moose there. We didn't see the moose. So, we just went on."

Another one of the boys said: "Well, we seen the footprints of the moose, but we didn't see the moose at all."

These kids were trouble makers from the start...they should be sent to bootcamp and the father sent to do hard labour on resolute island.

I think if a person, most likely aspie, dont mind if a human is getting teared apart by an animal, its called misantrophy, or in some AS people's case, NT Hatred. Its likely you dont like humans if you see them get killed by animals, you either think its completely disguisting or enjoy it, though i don't mind, i don't like humans that much either.
