Moose euthanized at Connecticut airport after wandering onto runway.

Environmental officials killed a moose in Connecticut after it wandered onto the grounds of Bradley International Airport, citing safety concerns for air travelers and drivers along a nearby highway. The animal never breached the perimeter fence that protects the airport's runways, and no flights were affected. Some travelers were upset by the news, questioning why the animal could not be moved instead of being euthanized. The DEEP estimates there are between 100-150 moose in Connecticut.
