Gas development tough on the big critters

[mtmiller]

Not stirring the fire, just wanted to share a few pics I received today. Shit happens, but a crappy way to go.

Ughhh...just hope that swamp donkey brokes it's neck before it had to die a pound at a time...

I thought all this resource development could be done in a way that wouldn't negatively affect wildlife.

Where's the pic from Craig? Looks like parts of British Columbia or Alberta. Could have put a fence around the gas line to keep the moose and other wildlife from trying to use it as a rubbing post......but that could have other negative side effects as well.

We need real proof! and statistics

Certainly a tragedy, but lets face it. Moose, elk & deer die every year because they get their antlers caught in trees. The road leading to that gas development site probably caused more wildlife damage then any antler entanglement.
Thanks for the pics, Miller. Us flatlanders count on you Mt. men to keep us informed.

Dang that sucks. Good looking young bull too; he would have been really special in another year or two. I just got done reading an article at the office on some of the effects the rapid development in southern Idaho is having on pronghorn populations and migration; scary sad stuff.

I not certain, but I would guess you are correct.
