Do moose like to be tagged?

And once again we see that all problems can be solved by throwing things at them.

Any problem that can't be solved in such a way is not a problem worth worrying about, obviously.

So that would be a no, right? Watching it, I couldn't help thinking of UFOs and alien probes - the moose must be experiencing something similar to that. Brave little moose calf.

My first thought at reading the title was why would someone want to spray paint their tag on the side of a moose.

My first thought on watching the guy removing the restraints in that video was the moose doesn't look like it is properly sedated. Why would someone be tagging moose by themselves? I thought people would work in pairs for stuff like this.

I feel the same way (as the moose) watching parents having their infant daughter's ears pierced. It's assault and child abuse! What else would you call causing pain and disfigurement to a baby for no medical reason whatsoever? If my daughter wants her ears pierced once she hits puberty, then I'll okay it - but not before.

BTW, I have to wonder were the li'l calf's momma was....
