Rapid City Journal: "At the start of their school day Wednesday, the children watched out the window of the classroom as the moose grazed on leaves and drank from Lime Creek.
Teachers gathered all the books about moose in the school's collection, and the visit by the moose became a learning experience.
'They were watching and learning about the moose. They were finding out what he eats and what he does all day,' Laurie Miller, a mother of two children who attend the school, said.
But South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks Department officials outside and west of the schoolyard determined that the moose posed a threat to public safety and decided to shoot the animal."
