In the meantime, the animals have been captured and the arrows removed.
Police offer reward
The Oregon Police have offered a reward for information leading to the apprehension of the perpetrator.
This is already the second incident of this kind in a short period of time from Oregon.
Operation successful
The operation appears to have gone well. Both animals have no infection.
Whoever did this also did so outside of hunting season, according to the responsible department. More on crime and recreational hunting and on the animal welfare problem.
More on the subject of recreational hunting: In our dossiers on the criticism of recreational hunting gather fact-checks, analyses and background reports. The scientific evidence is presented in the overview Studies on the Effects of Recreational Hunting.
The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
