A hunter in Norway shot dead two moose before realizing moments later that he was shooting through the fence of a zoo.

I wonder why the URL says elk when the headline and story are about moose.

He wasn't even in the zoo, he was outside it. If you're going to hunt zoo animals the least you can do is pay for admission.

Looks like he's going to, in the form of paying for their cost to replace the animals.

Be wary of attributing to malice what can easily be explained by stoopidity....

in other news, the group were fitted with moose costumes and set free in the zoo to be hunted down by a group of hunters who volunteered there services for a noble cause.

Maybe a moose once bit his sister...

What are they smoking or sniffing these days?

It appears he had too much akvavit.

I wonder how much it will be? Unless the $3,500 is the total cost per moose, but that seems low to include transportation and stuff. I'm assuming he can't work out a deal to go hunt down another moose.

 

[maddogchen]

As a hunter he should be allowed to somehow catch two moose as replacements

OK, so he got the moose, but what about the squirrel? And was his name Boris?

Bitch deserved it, you don't go carving your name into unsedated moose with a toothbrush and then whine when it bites you.
