ACTON (AP) -- A York County woman wants to be paid for the moose that was killed by her car but given away by police.
Lisa Pierce of Acton said a York County sheriff's deputy may have thought he was doing her a favor because she's a woman -- but he was wrong. And now Pierce wants to be compensated for the moose meat that she says is hers.
Pierce hit the moose with her car on Nov. 5. State law says a big-game animal killed by a car goes to the person
who hit it -- as long as police are called and the vehicle is damaged.
Pierce said she knew about the law but lost track of the moose when three children riding with her were being treated for injuries in the accident.
In the meantime, a neighbor hauled the carcass away with a tractor. The neighbor wanted to be paid -- and when the moose was butchered, the price went up.
Pierce complained to York County sheriff's officials. Police say they won't give her cash -- but are willing to give her the next moose struck in York County.
Sounds fair.
Most people probably don't want the animals, but there is an awful lot of excellent meat on a moose, no matter where you hit it. In some ways, she is lucky that they were able to find the moose. Sometimes they run off.
I'm sure this women will be showered with all kinds of series offers of moose meat with cheese to go with it.
Well, did I miss anything?
Make the cop who gave away the moose pay the woman who hit the moose just compensation. Either that, or fire him/her for delinquency of duty.
Are we still talking about a moose?

You need to wrap the leftovers in tinfoil.
the whole idea of the plan; is to get the carcass removed "right now!"...if she didn't want to worry about it right then....
then she's to late...no doe, no buck, n no cheese either...
"You have the right to remain silent, the right to counsel and the right to moose, as long as you get it out of here quickly. If you can't move it quickly, the guy with the closest tractor wins."
So, the neighbor said "All your moose are belong to us." Sheesh, what a loser. I hope he gets bit by the next moose.
I'm sure this women will be showered with all kinds of series offers of moose meat with cheese to go with it.
Well, did I miss anything?
Will you get series?

Ah, but did she consent to having the moose hauled and butchered in the first place?
In order to claim any cheese, she will have to provide evidence of her running over a cow. Goats don't count unless you run over one while you are driving a camel.
