The man you see in this video is a friend, a friend that I and folks in my town (including past game wardens and the road commissioner) call for help when they have wild animal problems. David was asked to rescue Peter as a wounded calf. Now, the state of Vermont wants to kill Peter (shoot him, humanely they say). It is illegal to make a wild animal into a pet. Peter lives on a 700 acre elk hunting preserve, not exactly someone's back yard. It is fenced. The animals that live there are cared for. I have been there. If disease is an issue, certainly it is easier to check in a restricted area than in the wild. Disease has not been found. Please help us save Peter the moose. You may not live in Vermont, but you can still be counted. Vermont depends on tourist dollars.
This link is for an interview with David. It can not be embedded. Please click here. It is worth seeing. And then… please email my governor, here. Or phone him on Thursday.

Help us save Peter. TIME IS SHORT!
(I don't know who took this picture of Peter. It wasn't me. I hope that the photographer won't mind as I am using it as it was intended, to help save Peter.)

I sent my E-mail to your governor!
Will do..off to check out your other links…
Will do. So sad.
I sent an email and included a link to your blog. Do keep us informed of this poor animal’s plight. It doesn’t seem right to kill this animal.
I just sent an e-mail to the governer! And I’m forwarding this link to all my friends!
Just emailed your govenor and forwarded it to friends. I’ll be watching to see what happens!
What was the point of rescuing him as a calf, if they kill him as an adult?
Government at work… *sigh*
I hope this helps poor Peter. Dumb bureaucrats.
The fight to save Pete and his friends continues. There are so many on his side already, but more are needed.
Make an exception to the rule! This person saved Peter from certain death, let them be friends. Cannot believe it’s even a thought of euthanizing such a magnificent animal! I am in Arizona, I am willing to send money to help save his life.
I don’t know who in the HELL shot the moose in the video clip, but I do believe that you are VILE individuals and hope that you end up in a place where you are tracked and continuously shot for all eternity.
We show our lack of humanity, decency and simple common sense by how we treat one simple moose. What ignorance. It never fails to be shocking to me that people are really this stupid.
