RCMP Livestock Investigations Unit reminds livestock owners to purchase permit
The RCMP Livestock Investigations Unit would like to send a friendly reminder to people who intend on transporting horses and cattle across the border during the upcoming winter months.
Mounties say it is the law for all livestock leaving the province of Alberta to be accompanied by a livestock permit. According to police, the inspection of livestock is pertinent for ownership identification, theft prevention and traceability.
RCMP say Lifetime Horse Permits cost $30 + GST and allow horses to be transported out of Alberta for the lifetime of the horse, or until there is a change of ownership.
