4/7/2006: Moose stuck in swingset

[Undertoad]

From the full story here, this moose was merely trying to snack on a tasty backyard hedge when it got tangled in the swingset's chains. The homeowner called police for help, and it took bolt cutters to free the beast. He's young, not full-grown, but still weighs about 400 pounds.

"It didn't like the idea too much that I stayed close to it, but it stayed calm," Valliere said Friday. "The only thing I was nervous about was getting bit."

The rescue went smoothly and the moose was freed. It left without looking back.

"It just real slow, just walked away," Valliere said.

And probably muttered something like "I meant to do that."
