‘Deplorable’ conditions lead to BC SPCA seizure of 129 cattle from B.C. rancher
After several weeks of investigation and multiple visits, 129 cattle kept in “deplorable” conditions were seized from a Cawston rancher.
The investigation into the animals’ situation began after a complaint was made to the BC SPCA in December. Multiple visits were made, and despite speaking with the rancher, no changes to the cattle’s living conditions were observed. “They were up to their knees in mud and manure in some places,” said Drever. “They had no shelter, some of the cattle had injured themselves as a result of inadequate fencing, it was just deplorable the way these cattle were being kept.”Such seizures are uncommon, where livestock belonging to a farmer or rancher are involved.
