Creston Valley RCMP was called to investigate the death of a horse whose passing looks anything but natural.
On April 13th at the outskirts of Bountiful, the horse was found still alive.
“The horse was found by a witness, standing on the roadway with something clearly wrong,” said Cpl. Evan Diachok. “The witness walked the horse off the roadway and back to the owner’s residence.”
Unfortunately, the owner would find the horse deceased on his property the next day.
“During the investigation, it was found that the horse had multiple gunshot wounds,” Diachok added. “The investigation is ongoing. Should any person have information on this event, please contact the Creston RCMP.”
The Creston Detachment may be contacted via their website, or by calling 250-428-9313.
