Tees-area couple fined $15,000 for animal neglect
A Tees-area couple found guilty of neglecting their livestock so poorly that some of them died has been fined $15,000.
Garnet and Joann Schultz, who own a 30-acre plot of land near Tees, were sentenced in Red Deer provincial court on Tuesday.
In addition to the fines, the couple was banned for life from owning any animals, except for a single dog which requires a letter of good health from a veterinarian in order to stay with them.
