Colorado Police: 'Stop Trying to Take Selfies' With Loose Moose
UPI ^ | JUNE 8, 2022 | Ben Hooper

Police in a Colorado town are pleading with the public to "stop trying to take selfies" with a moose on the loose in the area.

The Erie Police Department posted a short video to Facebook showing the moose that wandered into town walking down a road with a police escort.

Police said Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials are making plans to relocate the massive animal.

"Please keep a safe distance (further than you would think is safe) if you encounter the moose," the Facebook post said. "Please, please, please stop trying to take selfies with wildlife."

The department also asked members of the public to keep their dogs leashed so as not to frighten the moose.

"Ideally, the moose will bed down for the evening which will allow Colorado Parks and Wildlife to do what they do best," the post said.

I have never watched one of Schumer’s movies on purpose but have accidentally landed on a few when surfing movie sites.

The common denominator in those is that she plays a slut in all of them.

Actually, people chasing the moose around stresses the moose.

They had to put a cow down once because the farging idiots followed it all over town, and it got stressed badly.

Reminds me of the book “Antlers in the Tree” aka “Who Goosed the Moose”.

What they didn’t say is that a selfie taken with a moose is an embarrassment that will haunt you for the rest of your life, as moose cannot resist mugging for the camera.

Wouldn’t it be more profitable and entertaining to just film them getting gored and putting it on toutube? After all. You can’t fix Stupid
