OMAFRA Rejects Livestock Predator Claim From North Wellington

It appears Wellington North may have jumped the gun on a farmer’s claim for compensation.

Council paid the farmer about 15 hundred dollars for a heifer killed in an apparent incident involving a cougar.

Turns out the heifer broke its neck after coming in contact with the predator, but suffered no bite wounds.
