A huge rock slid and landed on an emergency landing pad used by search and rescue in the Niagara Gorge. The rock was the size of a F250 Pick-up Truck. Here is video footage of explosives being used to break it into smaller pieces.
From the St. Catharines Standard:
It’s been two years since the last crime, but Niagara police are hoping the public will help them track down a serial cow killer from their cold files.
Four cows — including one that was pregnant with twin calves — were killed by someone who used a crossbow to fire arrows into them.
“It’s a real weird one,” Niagara Regional Police Det. Sgt. Brian Smith said.
The killings took place over a period of five days from Dec. 10 to 15, 2006, at a farm on Effingham Street near the border of Welland and Pelham.
The animals would have suffered painful deaths in the gruesome attacks, Smith said.
