A Canadian man claims he was fired from his job at a fuel supplier when he helped rescue a desperate moose calf from a potential black bear attack.
Mark Skage, who worked for AFD Petroleum Inc., was driving back from a job site when he saw the abandoned moose wandering on the side of the road in British Columbia on June 6.
As he pulled over and hopped out of his vehicle, the calf attempted to climb into his truck as Skage noticed a bear stalking the "few day old" animal.
"There was a black bear 50 yards away from her just waiting," Skage said in a Facebook post.
"I made a decision at the time after she kept (trying) to climb into the work truck that I couldn't just leave her there. So I stuck her in the passenger side and drove to town to get her some help," Skage added.
Skage's decision to bring the calf into his truck comes from his background as an outdoorsman and he knew that doing so was against the law.
...
"It is against the law to pick up wild animals off the road or from out in nature, anywhere. It is illegal to be in possession of wildlife and transport wildlife," he told the outlet.
...
With the calf riding shotgun in his truck, Skage called his supervisor and the local conservation officer about his predicament before he named the moose Misty and found a rehab center to look after her until she was ready to be released.
His company, AFD Petroleum, fired him for not abandoning the baby moose to the black bear.
"Instead of reporting the situation to a conservation officer and allowing the authorities to handle the rescue and relocation of the moose, the individual made the independent decision to transport an uninjured moose calf, a wild animal, in the front seat of his company vehicle for many hours," said AFD Petroleum president Dale Reimer, according to CBC.
"This not only put the employee and other road users at risk but also potentially caused distress and harm to the moose."
Ugh. Terrible.
Do whatever the government tells you, never let your own conscience make an allowance for the good!
