In an effort to protect one of Canada's largest herd populations, transit authorities have invested millions of tax dollars to build a bridge that offer the great elk's safe passage across some of the most trecherous roads in Canada.
"We realized that so many of these helpless animals were being killed senselessly by automobiles who travel these high speed highways everyday," said one authority. "We've also seen a sharp rise in health care costs for people who are injured when they hit one of these large animals."
The seperate roadways are open 10 months of the year and closed for two during hunting season.
"We feel this is very sportsman like protecting them until we can polish up our rifles and shoot the hell out of them."
