Man Gets Into Trouble For Riding Moose In BC Lake

23 Jun, 2015

British Columbia's chief conservation officer says tips are coming in about the identity of several boaters seen harassing a swimming moose before one of them jumped on the animal's back for a ride.

Doug Forsdick says that while a YouTube video posted Saturday shows the men laughing at their friend's apparent exploit, he found it hard to watch because the moose would have been stressed.

Forsdick says an investigation is underway but that he couldn't say when the video was taken or provide the exact location of the incident, somewhere in northern B.C. waterway.
