The state should be taking the farm raised elk, who shouldnt be in Vermont in the first place, instead of the poor moose. Dear God, this country has dissolved into a Police State......the moose is not hurting anyone or anything....you know they gonna kill it too. Kill first and ask questions later is the new Fish and Wildlife Policy.........must be training these officers with the State Police......what a screwed up world we are living in.

Save Pete!! If there are wildlife specialists allowed to rehab/care/raise wild black bears why is it not ok for this gentleman to save and heal a young calf (Pete) from injuries sustained by domestic animals. What this man has done was humane and logical. SAVE PETE!!

any other animal line would be possible to inter breed with man opps sorry all others aren't safe to have a Vermonter breed with them. By the time that farmer got his ladder set up the moose would move or duty call.

I'm glad we've spent so much effort keeping Pete alive. He is a good moose, a good father, and a hard worker. I'm also glad we gave up wasting our time trying to save the humans hooked on drugs, having children, and stealing from the residents of Orleans County, all while being paid by state entitlement programs. I love Vermont. Thank you governor.

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Sagittarius

It's difficult to keep your mind on what you're doing today because it keeps wandering off in all directions. There won't be much you can do about this except to be aware of it, and preferably to postpone doing anything very complicated or important until you're less distracted and absent-minded. Unfortunately, you won't get very far with it at the moment.
