A baby moose, barely one-and-a-half-months old, was shot through the head with a hunting arrow in Shosone County, Idaho on Thursday night. Officers from the Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office said the animal was suffering when they found it and decided to humanely end its life.
According to KhqNews, the deputies were informed about the disturbing incident and found the animal in grave distress lying near Vets Road in Pinehurst. In Idaho, anyone found guilty of poaching a moose could face up to $10,000 in fines and also be charged with animal cruelty.
“Provided further, that any person who pleads guilty, is found guilty of, or is convicted of illegal killing, illegal possession or illegal waste of a trophy big game animal as defined in section 36-202(h), Idaho Code, shall reimburse the state for each animal so killed, possessed or wasted, as follows:
… Trophy moose: ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per animal killed, possessed or wasted…”
Why in the world would anyone want to kill a baby moose except for sadistic and cruel pleasure? Please share this tragic story and help find the person responsible for this heinous deed. The Sheriff’s Office is asking for your help in this case. If you know anything that will help them find the person responsible for shooting the young moose, please call Captain Jeremy Groves at 208-556-1114.
Rest in peace little innocent animal. It is hoped you will find justice.

Put an arrow through this persons head first and then euthanize him only after he suffers and is in distress like this baby moose. Heartless person does not deserve any better treatment
He’s not deserving of being freed from suffering. Let him live in agony until his heart stops beating. We’re living in a world where truly devil-possessed people are proliferating like maggots.
