Over 300 cattle seized, many found dead as Sask. farmer denies starvation charges

A Saskatchewan farmer has received multiple charges for cattle neglect and starvation after Animal Protection Services (APSS) found the cattle in the care of Morris Takoryk had not only been wandering, but were found to have been starved, not given adequate water and had little to no shelter.

APSS received a complaint about cattle being in distress and wandering onto other people’s property in the area of Whitkow, Sask., in March and seized 308 cattle from 15 sections of land from Takoryk.

Taykoryk said he disagrees with APSS’s decision to seize the cattle. He admits cattle died, but for plenty of other reasons such as the cold winter, bloating, predators, and the possibility of feed not being sufficient in nutrients due to last years’ drought.
