The family of an Alaska man who was fatally attacked by a moose said the amateur photographer died doing what he loved
The family of an Alaska man fatally attacked by an enraged moose trying to protect her newborn twin calves said he was a nature photographer who knew the risks of taking photos in the wild and died doing what he loved. Even though there have been some calls for the moose to be killed, Dale Chorman's family does not want the moose put down because she was only protecting her calves.
” Even though the death was tragic, Spence-Chorman said his father would have accepted this outcome. “The truth is, he died doing what he loved,” he wrote. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game normally receives reports of aggressive or unusual moose behavior, said Cyndi Wardlow, a regional supervisor in the Department of Wildlife Conservation. “In this case, we’re obviously very concerned about public safety,” she said.
