Several hundred people attended a vigil on Sunday in Boulder, Colorado, for the moose that was shot dead by a policeman. It had wandered into a neighborhood, where he was fatally shot by a police officer on duty.
The officer said that the elk appeared injured before he was shot. He was placed on leave.
Police say an off-duty officer who had called in sick the Moose was killed the night took the carcass to be processed for meat. The Boulder Daily Camera reported Monday (http://bit.ly/WpKRmq) that the officer has a website offering taxidermy services.
The second officer was placed on leave. State officials are investigating wildlife.
