When Sault Ste. Marie's Hunter Berto saw a moose critically injured by another truck Monday night on Highway 17, he pulled his rig off the road, sat down on the snow with the animal, comforting it during the final minutes of its life.
"It was last night. I was between Thunder Bay and Upsala," says the young trucker, employed since September by Big Freight Systems Inc. of Steinbach, Man.Monday night, he was on Highway 17, hauling lumber from Weyerhaeuser in Kenora, headed for New York State's famed Finger Lakes region."Out of the corner of my eye I saw a moose pulling itself off the highway, with its front legs.
"I backed up and pulled [the moose's] legs off the highway because people were actually running over its legs.""I just sat in the snow bank with it. It let me get right up to it. I was petting it and it put its head right on my lap.""MNR [Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry] were not far behind to take it away.
