Reward Offered in Elk Killing

By Ron Kerr

Sportsmen and wildlife

officials in the West Kootenays
are incensed over the recent
slaughtering of a protected bull
elk. Cash rewards are being
offered for the arrest and
conviction of the culprits,

“It was pure butchery,”
one witness said. °

The clk had been shot 11
times in the head with a .22
caliber rifle. Bullets striking
the animal's left eye had
reduced it to a mass of pulp.
Another .22 calibre bullet was
found in the hip. The throat had
been slashed with an axe. When
the culprits had finished the
animal was still alive.

The next day when officials
discovered the elk it was
standing, literally bleeding to
death from the neck, mouth and
head. More than 12 hours of
suffering had passed before the

in the area have accepted the

there are a few who find them
troublesome.

These elk are part of the

Due to the recent killing,
wildlife officials are seeking a

Why AutoPlan?

Car insurance costs money. Sometimes, a lot of
money And sometimes without giving you the
auto insufance protection you really need and
want. That's why the Insurance Corporation of
British Columbia was formed . . . to provide
every driver and car owner in the province with
complete motor vehicle insurance at the lowest
possi le cost. And at the same time, to provide

possible claims settlement service.
