Those bad old cops wouldn't have shot Elmo the Elk if we had stricter gun control laws ... to keep dangerous weapons away from the police!

I would have had a charcoal grill vigil!

The investigation will begin as soon as the Police Elk Barbecue is finished.

I'm surprised the cops in Banff, Alberta aren't going crazy shooting the elk that roam all over town and on the golf courses!

Elk are a renewable resource.

Elk is some might good eating. Yum yum!

That said, as silly as the vigil/local response is...I’m not entirely sure I buy the officer’s story, either. It may have been that the elk was injured and needed to be put down, or it might have been a case of poaching (if that’s the correct word used here). If I ran across an animal sick or injured enough that it needed to be put down, I’m not sure I’d be that eager to have it wind up on my dinner table.

Just sayin’.

It is another outbreak of “Boulder Dementia Syndrome”. Note the clear loss of objectivity in the following post by a consummate career Trough Feeder, PostalPerson Mark O’Rourk said of the elk which had threatened him and cornered him on a porch recently, “..it didn’t deserve to die.”

Yes, indeed, PostalPerson - let over a quarter of a ton of mad meat introduce you to its antlers and kick you into downtown Boulder with its pointy hoofs.

See what happens when someone (ME) jump to conclusions just by looking at the headline.

I thought maybe one of the boys got rowdy at the Sat night BPOE dance.

Sorry.......................

One might ask if these mourners had a life or something but....

Let’s see if I understand this correctly:

* No report filed
* No proof that elk was actually injured
* Quickly spirited away to be dressed out for “personal” use

Certainly sounds like poaching to me. Will there be any repercussions? Very unlikely.

Cops, shooting an elk in BOULDER? This is so unrepentant, so guaranteed to inflame that open air lunatic asylum, that i’m proud of these cops.
There is just something almost fine about it.

Wait wait,, i got it. Maybe the elk was really killed by a “small foreign faction”. Did anyone find a ransom note?

Isn’t it customary for injured wildlife to be euthanized by Dept. of Fish and Game personnel?
