Sacred albino moose killed by hunters

A rare albino moose, considered a sacred "spirit animal" by Nova Scotia's indigenous Mi’kmaq people, was killed last week by visiting hunters unaware of its spiritual significance.

You don't need to be aware of what other people think about the animal, you just need to realize that it's rare and an interesting thing, and that others might want to see it as well.  Everyone's seen a moose, but only a few got to see this one.  A key tenet of Leave No Trace (besides Respect Wildlife) is "Be considerate of other visitors".  These guys ruined it for everyone else.
