4PM UPDATE: OPP have reconfirmed the number of sheep reported missing to police is 31.
Northumberland OPP are investigating the theft of 31 sheep from a farm in Trent Hills.
The flock is valued at about $35,000.
The sheep were under quarantine by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and while their illness – called scrapie - is not dangerous to humans, officials are concerned the diseased sheep could contaminate other flocks of sheep or goats.
Anyone with information is asked to contact either the OPP, Crimestoppers or the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.





Might want to tell the whole story in regards to this post.
The sheep were stolen by some group, and the CFIA want to kill these animals without ever having done any tests on them to determine if they actually have the disease or not, which as far as I’m concerned is a form of animal cruelty.
Good for the people who took these animals and shame on the CFIA. I hope they are never found.
They are a POTENTIAL hazard. They haven’t even proven they have the disease… Thank goodness some people take to action when an injustice has taken place.
