For over two years, a wild elk in Colorado wandered around with a car tire stuck around his neck. 💔
This weekend, wildlife officers were finally able to help him. They tranquilized the elk, sawed off his antlers, and removed the tire — which had collected about 10 pounds of debris from the forest.
Imagine carrying that weight around your neck for half your life. 🥺 Thankfully, he’s now free and can finally live without that burden. 🦌💚
