Unwelcomed
The day passed somewhat successfully for the calf, thanks to Erikas’ makeshift caring plan. An Animal Services agent pulled into the path leading to Erikas’ farmhouse the next morning. Erikas eagerly greeted the agent, who he led to the hurt calf’s little home in the garden area. The agent took one look at the moose and then gravely turned to Erikas, informing him that not only he be unable to aid this animal, but that there was only one morbid option left for her.

The agent recommended that Erikas summon a nearby hunter, who could then bring peace to the calf with as much professional dignity as possible. Erikas was shocked to hear such a suggestion from someone who was meant to help animals. He could never hand the calf back to the hunters who had put him in this awful condition in the first place. Of course, Erikas harboring of a wild animal was unlawful, but sometimes what is right, and what is lawful, are two very different things.
