Fort St. John RCMP are investigating after a bull and a horse were found dead and missing their genitals.
RCMP received reports of the dead bull in Cecil Lake on Sept. 22, and the dead horse in Rose Prairie on Oct. 1. Police are calling the deaths suspicious, with no evidence to indicate the animals were killed by predators.
It's unclear whether the two deaths are related, nor when exactly the bull died, as "significant time had passed before it was reported," RCMP said. The BC RCMP Livestock Section is assisting the investigation.
"Reports of this nature are not common place and are taken very seriously by the RCMP," Cst. Chad Neustaeter said in a news release.
"Losing an animal in this way can be very traumatizing to the owners and our local farming community."
