Pogo Moose Incident - Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada.
"The power suppliers were laying new power cables which were strung on the ground for miles. The moose are rutting right now and very agitated. One was thrashing around and got his antlers stuck in the cables. When the men (miles away) began pulling the lines up with their big equipment, the moose went up with them. The workers noticed excess tension in the lines and went searching for the problem.
The moose was still alive when they lowered him to the ground.

Wrong place?
According to "Urban Legends Reference Pages" the incident took place in the vincinty of Fairbanks, Alaska, USA - not as stated in the story (which was sent to me by email) - at Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada. There is some doubt about the date stated here - it seems it actually happend in October, 2004. In addition, the moose was obviously shot & killed shortly after having been lowered to the ground due to the fact that his state of health could not be determined by a professional.
Pls. see clipping below!
