The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP ) in British Columbia, Canada say that 17 horses are dead after being shot on Crown land west of Kamloops.
The Tk’emlups Rural RCMP say officers were called to an area north of Walhachin for reports that several horses had been killed.
Mounties say the horses are believed to be part of a wild herd that often comes to the area.
“The motive behind this disheartening act cannot be confirmed at this point. However, investigators will continue to collect and examine everything available,” a news release reads.
“It is acknowledged that these horses are of cultural significance to the local Skeetchestn Band.”
Police are asking anyone with information to call the
RCMP Livestock Section at 250-299-7462,

CANADA SLAUGHTERS HORSES FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION
It may be hard for some to believe that tens of thousands of horses, including pets, are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption.
Some of the meat is consumed in Canada and much of it is shipped to the European Union and other markets, including Japan.
The barbaric slaughter of horses is currently not legal in the United States, BUT horses, including pets and ex-racehorses, from the United States are shipped to Canada and to Mexico to be slaughtered.
In addition Canada allows for the transportation of live horses to Japan, to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air, is far from humane.
