“It’s time to ramp up protection, both federal and provincial, in my opinion, to stop this senseless slaughter when some trigger-happy person just decides to take the law into his own hands,” McCrory said. “In Canada, whether it’s a species at risk, wild horses or old-growth , it just takes a lot of political will on the Canadian public to see that happen.”
RCMP Cpl. Cory Lepine, who is the sole such livestock investigator in the province, said in an interview that he believes the bodies of the horses had been there for about two weeks, based on how heavily scavenged the bodies were by the time officers arrived.
