I guess the citizens of Boulder held a candlelight vigil, sang songs by the fire and prayed for the dead elk. We can only hope the healing will begin soon.
What is on these people's minds? Has everyone gone completely nuts? Candlelight vigils for elks? I'm fairly certain the police officers wouldn't have shot an elk unless they felt it posed a threat to the people of the city.
Couldn't they just use the meat to feed the homeless and then mount its head in the local Elk's Lodge? For cryin' out loud.
