Environmental officials in Connecticut euthanized the moose out of an abundance of caution after the animal was spotted at Bradley International Airport.
"When moose are roaming in high-traffic areas such as airports and public roadways it can be a public safety concern and both DEEP and airport staff are authorized to euthanize a moose if deemed necessary," DEEP spokesman James Fowler said in the statement.
Officials said that while the moose had entered the airport grounds, the animal never made it through the perimeter fence surrounding the runways, and no flights were affected.
