A farm in British Columbia had its dairy licence suspended and faces an investigation by the BC SPCA over allegations of animal cruelty.
The BC Milk Marketing Board announced last week it suspended the licence of Cedar Valley Farms in Abbotsford, B.C., after it was provided information regarding violations to the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle and a subsequent inspection of the farm.
Video obtained of the farm has also prompted a BC SPCA investigation.
"There's definitely footage there that does not only contravene the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, but could borderline on criminal actions," Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer of the BC SPCA, told CTV News.
