Let this be a lesson that you don’t have to post
everything
on social media. An Alaskan resident by he name of Elliot Edwards uploaded a video onto Facebook of himself riding a four-wheeler near a wild moose. The man was chasing the young moose along the Yukon River and you can even see the big moose fall down on the ice as it’s sprinting to get away. Someone saw the footage online and became concerned, and reported it to the Alaska Department of Public Safety. Not long after they received the tip, the authorities hit Edwards with a citation for “using a motor vehicle to harass, herd, drive, or molest game.” There’s no doubt that Edwards was harassing the wild animal, The
that was released by the Alaska Department of Public Safety summarized the events that unfolded in their official statement:
“The moose attempted to get to safety multiple times, but was unable because of high river banks. The four-wheeler continued to chase the moose until it slipped on the ice. The investigation determined on January 29, 2024, Edwards used a red Honda four-wheeler to chase a calf moose until it slipped on the ice.”
