Gathering her courage, Avery slowly approached the trapped animal with cutters in her hand, her heart pounding under the intense gaze of the adult moose. The air around them was thick with tension, a silent standoff as human and beast carefully assessed each other’s intentions, both wary yet driven by instinct.
Avery moved with deliberate caution, every step a careful balance between respecting the moose’s protective instincts and her own determination to help the animal. She worked gently, her hands steady as she began snipping through the netting, feeling a quiet bond forming between her and the captured animal.
