Great point. Of course the moose aren't protected under the Endangered Species Act, but you've got a valid point. People are dropping like flies in Anchorage and they don't have the police force, or perhaps the will, to address that issue. The problem that a lot of people here on this comment section, myself included, is really the lack of accountability, and unwillingness of law enforcement agencies to apply the law equally among the citizenry. Just like those people who shot up, mangled, and wasted that Humpback whale last year (another species protected by the ESA), where they didn't have a quota, or a history of hunting humpback whales, nothing will happen. Now if it were anyone else besides an Alaska Native who did this, they'd be tried and convicted within a month, and probably doing jail time. (Continued)
