Answer: Poaching
The story: Elk season has started in Oregon, and the Humane Society donated a $4000 mechanical elk to the Oregon State Police Fish & Wildlife Dept to use in "sting" operations against illegal hunters.
OSP has RoboAntelopes, RoboDeer, RoboBears, and RoboTurkeys--and now a RoboElk. Last year they gave out 143 Robo-related citations, including 90 for shooting at RoboAnimals from moving vehicles.
RoboElk's message: "Stay in school, kids."
