Waterford, New York is the home of an exciting new service. Wildly popular among young bull moose, the Waterford Moose Dating Service is now open for business.
WATERFORD, N.Y. — The 800-pound visitor made a few house calls Wednesday morning, causing quite the commotion in a typically quiet neighborhood.
"All we see is ducks, skunks and squirrels and stuff like that, but we've never see a moose over here…ever," said Cecelia Hines…….
……..After two attempts, officials on the scene finally able to tranquilize the moose.
And once he was down, it took quite a few people to pick him back up. And before the animal could be loaded onto the trailer, parts of the animal's antlers had to be taken off as a safety precaution.
"That was needed because there are air holes inside of the trailer, and as he came out we didn't want him to hook his antlers in the air holes," Henry said.
Officials say he wasn't hurt in the process, and though they aren't sure where exactly the animal will be released, they do have calls out to a regional wildlife manager, who is trying to find a spot with something special for this bull.
"Hopefully we'll take him to a place where he'll find a girlfriend,” Henry said.
As a general precaution, we would advise all people in the Waterford area to avoid using certain colognes. Waterford is planning on introducing an online service where lonely moose with internet access can exchange video greetings as well. The suggested eMooseHarmony name will probably get nixed by lawyers, though.
