Connecticut state police rescue a moose trapped in a fence

A moose who had the bad luck of getting its hind legs stuck on a fence in Barkhamsted Connecticut had the good fortune that a concerned person who felt sorry to see the poor animal trapped call 911 to ask the authorities for help. The Pleasant Valley Fire Department firefighters as well as the Connecticut State Police and EnCon police came to free the moose by taking down the part of the fence since the moose could not move backwards since his belly prevented him from moving backwards and he could not get his rear legs over the fence. The fire department used the jaws of life to remove the fence area where the moose was trapped. After the fence was removed, the moose managed to leave the area and go back to his home area. The good news is that the moose was not injured. I guess that the New England area is home to a large moose population. How did the moose get stuck on the fence on Friday evening is most likely that the moose wanted to enter an area where a fence blocked off entrance due to being curious.
