The article states the guy has knowledge, doesn't state he was driving 100 kph, and does say the calf was a female so he saved multiple generations of moose.

Please take time to read the article before commenting.

Despite your petty assumptions, I have a great deal of experience working in that area. I have surveyed all the public, reserve, and resource roads within three hours drive of Fort Nelson working with the NWIPC. I also read the article.

Fort Nelson is next to the largest wilderness preserve in the Americas, an untamed land roughly the size of Ireland. It is extremely rural up there. Few enough roads that there's no way he got that moose to other humans without using one of a few two lane highways where 100kph is the expected safe speed. Knowledge or not, bringing a moose calf inside your vehicle is extremely unpredictable and therefore hazardous to yourself and drivers around you. I'm amazed I have to spell this out.
