RCMP in British Columbia are investigating multiple incidents of cattle poaching.
On the weekend of Sept. 26, police received calls of cattle poaching in Merritt, along Brookmere Road, and in Quesnel and Hixon.
All of these incidents occurred on Crown land.
“I can advise that the cows in Hixon and Merritt were harvested for meat and the one in Quesnel was just shot and left,” Cpl. Brett Urano told CTV news.
This recent string of cattle poaching isn’t B.C.’s first.
In October 2015, poachers shot cattle in North Okanagan on land leased by the Coldstream Ranch.
