Gives snowmobiling a bad name, I heart Mooses

Below is an article on people who try to get moose of the trails by harassing them. Moose are gentle creatures and clearly these snowmobilers are not into the sport becuase of the opportunity to observe wildlife and scenery.

The Colorado Division of Wildlife said it is seeing too many videos posted on the Internet showing people chasing and harassing moose while riding snowmobiles."Moose don't behave like deer or elk," said DOW Area Wildlife Manager Lyle Sidener. "You can't 'shoo' them off a trail. Moose don't see people as threats and they will stand their ground, or possibly attack." Not only that, but it is illegal, unethical and completely disrespectful to wildlife.
