Merritt RCMP are asking anyone with information regarding the killing of a bison calf on a local ranch to come forward and speak to them.
“On November 28, 2020, the Merritt RCMP were called to a local Ranch in Merritt, BC, as a buffalo calf had been shot and killed with an arrow by an unknown suspect,” reads a statement from the detachment.
“Evidence on scene suggested the offence had occurred within a couple days of the calf being found deceased.”
Sgt. Josh Roda said, via email, “Poaching is not tolerated in this community. Our local ranchers are business owners trying to earn a living and incidents like this have a negative effect on that.”
