Animal Welfare Officer Carol Hepburn, APD, Amherst College PD and Environmental Police played hide and seek most of the morning into the early afternoon chasing a young moose dangerously close to Amherst town center.

Police shut off traffic at a number of locations but had to move quickly as the moose did not want to cooperate with attempts at herding, so a marksman was called in.

The first two attempts to bring the beast down with a tranquilizer shot failed, but the third attempt was the charm.
One moose down for the count

They get a parasitic worm in the brain. Seriously.
That worm gets around.
Is that what happened to Ed?
Now it makes sense...
With all the conservation land in this town, this moose couldn't find some?
Wanna bet that moose strolled into town from wherever and never once stepped onto taxable land?
"Is that what happened to Ed?"
Nope.
Read The Count of Monte Cristo if you want to know what happened to Ed.
Oh, and it's Doctor Ed, not that I really particularly care.
Isn't someone going to start screaming about how poorly we in Amherst treat outsiders?
Or Chapter 61 land owned by one family business on which only nominal taxes are paid?
With all the squirrels in town, all we're missing is Boris and Natasha.
"Oh, and it's Doctor Ed, not that I really particularly care."
Sure sounds like you do. Ed, I don't care for you or your title, so you won't be getting any respect from me.
And I don't think of Monte Cristo when I think of you. I think more of a mountain of Crisco.
I see a black moose and white police officers. Clearly racial profiling if you ask me.
