This can't be for real... Please someone tell me it's not real!

If the neighbors are dissatisfied with the way the police deal with elk in the neighborhood, a public demonstration of that dissatisfaction seems like a reasonable way to express it.

Neighborhood BBQ would have been the correct response. Not some pansy vigil.
This is what happens when you "legalize it". Bunch of hippies having candlelight vigil's for animals.
Sounds like they need to lighten up a bit and smoke some if you ask me.
It was in Boulder, which the rest of us don't consider CO . And yes it did happen. The story is there was an Elk that had been wintering in the neighborhood for a couple of years now. Some reports of it acting agressive a few weeks ago, but haven't seen anything that actually confirmed that.
A lot of the touchy feely folks in Boulder are upset about the killing of an animal. The rest of us are upset by the way it was killed. The Boulder PD office shot the elk at night with his service shotgun. Called an off-duty Sheriff Deputy to come get the Elk and take it to his house. People called the city to complain about there officer shooting the Elk, were told several times none of their officers were involved.
Comes out a few days later that the Cop did shoot the Elk, said the elk was injured (no one in the neighborhood saw it with any injuries) , but never called dispatch (required by city policy before discharge of a weapon in non-emergency situation), never filed an after action report (required in all situations where an officer discharges a gun), and never called Parks & Wildlife (not required but SOP for the department when dealing with wildlife).
Bottom line is the officer Poached the Elk in the City (Where hunting is banned) and tried to cover it up. If he honestly shot the Elk because it was injured, he would have called dispatch before hand, called Parks & Wildlife, and filed an after action report. He and the deputy should be charged with Poaching and fired.
Elk is too dry for BBQ , not enough fat content for BBQ...stew it!!
if ya don't believe me read lewis & clark.....
smokem if ya gottem

the ridiculous "bunch of worthless hippies have nothing better to do" posts look pretty juvenile now.
Well not knowing the facts it would appear as if the cops were wrong in killing the elk. That though does not explain the bizarre actions of the people holding a candle light vigil for a elk or what I like to call dinner.
Buffalo it just about the best on a grill. Honestly I have ate everything from rock chucks to mountain lion and buffalo is the best by far

I'd love to try some buffalo, but they only have the ground up stuff in the grocery store I go to. Not sure where else to get it either.

And there are some good folks in Boulder, but in general it is full of nuts.
To candlelight and the gentle humming of kumbaya in the background...
We gather here today, on this HBT thread, to honor the life that was taken from us so suddenly and unexpectedly by my neighbor the gun wielding, elk killing, remorseless psychopath that she is.
Whilst a shame that this poor defenseless animal was sacrificed so long before its time it does taste mighty good in the chili I made, and its severed head does look mighty fine hanging on Saundra's wall.
Let us pray...
So true, and such a shame too because it has the potential to be such a great place.

But I have noticed that the John Denver feeling back in the 70's has pretty much changed now to something I do not enjoy as much. I know there are some good folks still there but it is changing for sure

Did you read the story? It's like a dozen lines and not spun in any way I can see. The story even mentions that an off duty officer even helped the on duty officer who shot the animal bring it back to his house for processing and that the department has suspended both officers for their actions. In what way is this a spin on what happened? Maybe not as detailed as it could have been but I wouldn't say misleading in any way.
