Loose Moose In Fort Frances

The Ministry of Natural Resources is studying samples taken from a moose found wandering in Fort Frances earlier this week that died after being tranquilized by authorities in their attempts to relocate the animal.

The large bull moose was found in the 300 block of Third Street East early Monday morning having difficulty maintaining its balance and salivating profusely.

At the time, it was determined the moose was showing signs of brain worm.

A local trapper and the M-N-R assisted the OPP in having the animal sedated because of safety concerns.
