Unlucky moose rescued from swing set

8/9/2012

"As freaked out as a moose in a swing set" sounds like a folksy saying that old people use, but after seeing this terrified moose being rescued from the chains of a swing, it seems appropriate. A Utah resident called the Weber County Sheriff’s Office after seeing the massive animal struggling to break free. Wielding a pair of bolt cutters, an extremely patient Sgt. Lane Findlay tried to help, calming the moose while cautiously clipping the chains around its antlers (we're guessing that it's the moose's heavy breathing we're hearing, not the officer’s). Well done. If we'd seen that in our yard, we'd have been as freaked out as — well, you know.
