All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel

Description

Colorado wildlife officials have finally helped an elusive elk get the car tire that had been hanging around its neck for at least two years off the animal. The 4-year-old, 600-pound bull elk was spotted and tranquilized, and officers were able to cut off the tire, but they had to cut off the elk’s antlers to remove it.. "We would have preferred to cut the tire and leave the antlers, officer Scott Murdoch said, “we had to just get the tire off in any way possible.”

Comments

  • Carol Segal Added Good to know the animal did not have to suffer a terrible death
  • BA Added Poor baby. I was glad to hear that his antlers will regrown. Thanks Mel.
  • Su Added Not sure why they had to cut off the antlers if they were able to cut off the tire. Seems like overkill to me. "He'll grow a new set" is a very flimsy excuse.
  • Randy Ferguson Added I love rescue stories like this one! I too was rescued, by Jesus Christ. And I've been happy ever since.
  • Patricia Yager Delagrange Added wow
  • Darnell Added A lucky one that he was found.
  • John D. Laskowski Added I battery operated sawzall would have done the trick without removing antlers !
  • Becky Added Another feel-good rescue story... I LOVE 'em! It's good to know there are caring people who will go out of their way to help someone (or something) out of a bad situation.
