Poachers have shot and killed two bison in Elk Island National Park (EINP).
Now, Parks Canada needs the public’s help to try and solve the incident that occurred near the north entrance of the park between Oct. 17 and 18.
According to Parks Canada, one or more individuals shot and killed two bison. One of the animals was dragged along the highway to a field approximately 800 metres north of the park where some of the meat was removed.
A white Dodge pick up truck with extra grill lights, and a rooftop light bar was seen in the area and may have been involved.
Poaching is a serious crime. The Canada National Parks Act protects all wildlife in national parks. .. for more see the Nov. 17/15 Leader
