'Moron' jumps from boat to moose's back in British Columbia

VICTORIA, British Columbia, June 22 (UPI) -- A video featuring a man in British Columbia jumping from a moving boat onto the back of a wading moose has been branded "wildlife harassment" online.

The WolfTrackerTV YouTube page posted a video showing the shirtless man standing on the edge of a moving boat as the vessel approaches the wading moose in what is believed to be British Columbia's Muskwa-Kechika Management Area.

The man jumps onto the moose's back and rides the panicked animal as it runs for shore.

The video's caption said the group has been reported to the Conservation Officer service.

"This moron is going to be charged with harassing wildlife," the video's description reads. "This is what NOT to do."

"Yes -- this has been reported to the CO service," the description said.
