[Homesteadingfamily] Re: Food thefts starting worldwide!

Three local cows have been butchered right in the pasture around here. I'm in Western WA state. They all were pastured, with no dogs, just fencing. All were killed and slaughtered and cut and wrapped in the field. This info is from my neighbors.
