Dogs harassing moose

This just in from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game:

During the past couple of weeks we have received several phone calls from Gustavus residents about dogs harassing moose. Cow moose have just recently given birth to calves, and roaming dogs can not only stress and injure the adult moose, but can kill calf moose. So please do your part to assure that your dog(s) are not part of this problem.

It is important for dog owners to know what their dogs are up to, and if you know or suspect your dog is harassing moose, take actions to address the problem. It is illegal under Alaska Fish and Game regulation to allow a dog to harass wildlife.

If you observe a dog harrassing moose, please call Neil @ 465-4267 or Andy @ 945-3620.

Thank you for helping address this concern!
