Moose on the loose now dead from lead

What is it about Worcester? When not battling bizarre beetles, the city has to worry about loose moose:
The 1,000 pound moose then walked to Quinsigamond Avenue, strolled into a warehouse at Castle Metals and wandered out. ... Because it was so close to a busy road, authorities determined it was becoming a public safety issue. The moose was shot dead around 8:15 a.m. It was taken away on a backhoe.

The next time there is a half-ton bull in full random rut loose during mating season, moskrin will be available to be his girlfriend.
MOO se
Well, maybe someone with a trank gun? Tufts (in Grafton) might have one, or U Mass, or even a local vet or the animal control people? I understand the moose is a problem, but if it can be knocked out, then everything works.
Then what
Call a tow truck?
Too bad they didn't have somebody around who could imitate a female in heat ... a Moose bugler ... who sounds like an interested female. Some hunters are able to do this with elk.

Aren't there laws in the state about killing wildlife?
These guys get pissed when you trap and relocate squirrels and skunks from residential areas.
They could have just as easily relocated a tranquilized moose with a backhoe as relocate a dead one... well, maybe not just as easily but easily enough.
How could a moose get loose in Moosachusetts?
Sounds like there's a reason the Moose from Moosachusetts never went to Worcester.
