Ex-Officer Convicted of Killing Beloved 'Big Boy' Elk

 

A former police officer accused of killing “Big Boy” — a huge elk beloved by a Colorado community — was convicted Tuesday of all nine counts against him.A jury in Boulder County found Sam Carter guilty of illegal taking of big game, attempting to influence a public official, forgery and tampering with evidence, among other charges, said Boulder County prosecutor Stanley Garnett.The elk’s death and Carter’s arrest had sparked outrage in Boulder, along with marches and prayer vigils."I saw him almost every day for three years," Mary Lee Withers of Boulder told NBC News. "It was the highlight of my walk with my dog."Withers, who runs PC's Pantry for Dogs and Cats, a Boulder pet store, said she's raising money for a memorial sandstone bench to be placed near the site where Big Boy died.

 

Obviously, this guy was out of control, and it's a shame that he blew away the animal for no good reason.

 

However, the reaction from the community is embarrassing. Marches, prayer vigils, and a memorial? People often react with more moral outrage at the needless abuse and slaughter of animals than they do to the neglect and abuse of children.

Ain't that the truth. It's vile, cowardly, and disgusting. In other words it is the attitude of the all too common misanthropic nihilist.
