A Calgary man is the latest person charged in a series of wild horse shootings in the Sundre area.
Gary Cape, 35, is charged with willfully killing cattle for a single instance of allegedly shooting a feral horse between May and October.
He has also been charged with using a firearm in a careless manner and possession of a firearm contrary to a probation order.
The charges are the result of an ongoing investigation involving Sundre RCMP, Didsbury RCMP, K Division Livestock Section, and Alberta Sustainable Resource Development fish and wildlife officers.
Cape appeared in Didsbury provincial court on Monday and all matters were set over to March 29 to speak to.
Since 2002, about 30 horses have been found dead in the West Country where more than 300 are running wild. Twenty horses were found rotting west of Sundre in 2007 and a reward of $21,000 has been gathered for information leading to an arrest.
Anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity in the area or who has information on the death of wild horses is asked to call Sundre RCMP at 403-638-3675 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
