   A park in Canada has been offering free helicopter flights to moose hunters, but recently drew controversy for how expensive the program has been. According to the CBC, a pilot program in Newfoundland’s Gros Morne National Park has so far spent $130,000 flying in hunters to remote areas to harvest moose, which officials say are causing numerous problems for the park.

To the surprise of some, moose are not actually native to Newfoundland and were actually introduced by humans in 1878 and again in 1904. Park officials say the animals are now threatening to overrun parts of the island and causing significant damage to the forest. The park is relying on hunters to manage the population, but accessibility remains a problem.  READ MORE
