leave them in peace, you have your metropolitans to pollute, Humans.
Once watched my adult moron ex-brother-in-law jump out of our slow-moving truck next to a field in the Bridger mountain range of Montana and CHASE a young moose because he intended to RIDE it. 😳🤬

Still can't believe it ran instead of taking him out.
And this is why we have zoom on our cameras, so we can get good pictures and video from a safe distance.
