PEI cabinet orders cattle rounded up
by Scott Gilbreath ~ October 9th, 2008
A matter of crucial importance for the security of the realm, obviously.
The P.E.I. cabinet decided on Wednesday that cattle roaming the roads and fields in a community near Montague will be rounded up and held until their owner pays a fine.
The ministers empowered a drover to police the movements of cattle in the area because residents are fed up with a local farmer’s apparent unwillingness to contain his herd.
Despite being charged and fined under the Stray Livestock Act, the owner of the cattle has apparently done nothing to keep them penned.
Unfortunately, the CBC story does not state why the problem landed on the cabinet’s agenda.
