Municipal Livestock Investigator

Municipal Livestock Investigators are appointed by the Town's Enforcement Division and are responsible for:

• Carrying out a full and impartial investigation within 72 hours of receiving the notification of the injury or death of livestock or poultry.
• Taking 3 to 6 colour photos per eligible kill/injury incurred and collecting all necessary information to accurately complete the application.
• Providing a completed program application to the municipality within 7 business days of completing an investigation.

Municipal Investigators are trained to provide an opinion on whether the death of livestock (for example: cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, etc.) at a farming operation occurred either by:

• A wild animal (for example: coyote, bear, raccoon, etc.),
• A dog or other domestic animal,
• Natural causes, or
• Unknown sources due to lack of evidence and/or scavenging.
