ISHPEMING -- Ishpeming Police late Monday announced that they had to euthanize an adult female moose who had wandered into Ishpeming with two calves.
Police say they euthanized the mother because it was endangering the public. The Department of Natural Resources supported the decision.
The whereabouts of the two calves is unknown, according to authorities.
The three moose were first spotted on the east side of Ishpeming Monday morning, and at one point, US 41 was closed down.
Authorities cautiously kept the trio on the move to help them avoid being hit by passing cars.
