Farmers accused of impaling cow on tractor
Two 42-year-old central North Island men will appear in Ohakune District Court next Friday to face animal cruelty
charges after what police call a "barbaric" incident.
The charges follow the discovery by Ohakune police sergeant Mike Craig of a live cow impaled on the forks of a
tractor front-end loader.
Mr Craig said he could not believe his eyes when he was driving past the tractor, on State Highway 49 between
Ohakune and Waiouru, and saw the cow's head moving.
He slammed on the brakes and went to investigate.
