A year after a video was posted to YouTube showing a man riding a moose, two Fort St. John, B.C., men have been charged under the Wildlife Act. The men were tracked down after the body of water in the video was identified as Tuchodi Lakes near Fort Nelson. The video, shot from a motor boat, caused an uproar on social media. It shows a moose being chased across a shallow body of water, before a man jumps onto the animal and rides it for 15 seconds before falling off. The men — who were not named — are due to appear in court in Fort Nelson on Aug. 8.
