Union County Sheriff's Office -- August 12, 2020 Deputies Investigating Fatal Shooting of Multiple Cows

Union County Sheriff's deputies are investigating an animal cruelty case involving the shooting of four pregnant Black Angus cows that occurred on a large tract of land in the 8500 block of S. Providence Road near Waxhaw.

The investigation began in late July after the reporting party discovered several cows had been injured by gunshots. Two of the cows were deceased upon discovery and the other two were euthanized due to the extent of their injuries.

The Sheriff's Office's Animal Services Division has continued pursuing leads and gathering information but thus far, no suspects have been identified. If you have information about this matter, please call the UCSO at 704-283-3789 or Crimestoppers at 704-283-5600.
