The Latah County Sheriff’s Office in Idaho shared a video showing Deputy Frantz freeing a juvenile moose caught in wire, according to the office’s social media caption. The post said the deputy responded to a welfare check involving the animal and that the moose was cut loose and given apples before being sent on its way.
The footage depicts the deputy helping the moose out of the wire. The supplied report does not give the incident’s specific location, the date it occurred, how long the animal had been trapped, or whether wildlife officials were involved. It also does not provide details about the moose’s condition beyond the sheriff’s office description that it was safe and sound after being freed.
The sheriff’s office caption described the animal as a juvenile moose and said Deputy Frantz responded to check on its welfare. The account characterized the moose as tangled in wire and reported that it was released. No additional statement from the deputy or the sheriff’s office was included in the supplied material.
Commenters responding to the video praised the deputy for helping the animal. One wrote, “Well done guys,” while another thanked the officer and offered a blessing to law enforcement. A third expressed gratitude for the rescue and referred to the moose’s cries as the deputy approached.
The video and the accompanying account were published by the Latah County Sheriff’s Office on Instagram, according to the report. The source does not identify the type of wire or explain how the moose became caught in it. It likewise does not state whether the animal required veterinary care or whether anyone else assisted with the rescue.
The incident drew attention online as a wildlife-rescue video, but the available details are limited to the sheriff’s office caption and reactions from social media users. The supplied material does not include independent confirmation or further official documentation about the rescue.
