The North Dakota Stockmen's Association is offering up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer of 14 cattle in a pasture southwest of Hankinson.
Richland County Sheriff's officials say that the cattle were killed late Thursday or early Friday. The culprit apparently entered the pasture owned by David Kluge of Hankinson and opened fire.
Thirteen cattle died immediately. Another was injured and had to be destroyed. The cattle were valued at an estimated $30,000.
The sheriff's office is being assisted by the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the North Dakota Stockmen's Association's East River Fieldman.
People with information are asked to call (701) 642-7711 or (701 223-2522.

Animal Cruelty Ballot Initiative
|
|
A petition for a ballot initiative to increase the penalty for cruelty to dogs, cats or horses to a Class C felony is in circulation in North Dakota.
HSUS, an outside animal rights organization known for its anti-ag and anti-hunting efforts, is backing a ballot initiative regarding animal cruelty in North Dakota. Their plan protects only three species of animals and fails to include the most common forms of abuse.
The NDSA does not believe in animal abuse, but does not support HSUS.
The NDSA does not think this plan is the right answer for North Dakota and is working with partners on a better, more comprehensive solution that protects all animals - and those who do right by them.
