Two photographers in Sundre are raising questions about the province’s horse cull after capturing some troubling photos.
Susan Collins and Wayne Chicoine spend much of their spare time taking photos of wild horses in the area but what they photographed Friday disturbed them.
“It was like your heart stopped and it went oh my goodness,” says Collins.
A dead horse can be seen in the photographs, with a trail of of blood behind it.
“It struggled, you could see where it went down for the first time,” says Chicoine.
The RCMP is aware of the case but it has some questioning the timing.
For past weeks there have been protests, confrontations and arrests for interfering with the legal horse capture.
One of the men that has a capture permit thinks it’s a good sign.
“What we’ve started is a conversation, that’s been my goal all along, “says Bryn Thiessen
The province had intended to capture just under 200 horses as part of their management goal.
On Wednesday, Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development announced 15 feral horses had been captured this season.
