Agitated moose shot, killed in Michigan town
Police Chief Jim Bjorne ordered his officers to shoot the moose after authorities struggled for hours to herd the animal and its two calves away. He said the 1,000-pound mother became unruly and posed a safety risk after 100 to 200 spectators began following it around Ishpeming, a town about 362 miles northwest of Detroit.
Outraged critics accused police officers of overreacting.
The cow was butchered, and the meat was donated to needy families.
