$1,000 rewarded offered after cows shot with arrows
The Hawaii Cattlemen's Association is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for shooting two pregnant cows with arrows in Kona.
The animals belonging to Hualälai Ranch had to be euthanized. Ranch manager Frank Boteilho said each cow was valued at about $1,000.
The first cow was found wounded Nov. 20. The second was discovered Dec. 8. Police believe both were shot in November.
Police have opened an animal-cruelty investigation.
Officer Courtney Bello says the arrows the cows were hit with appear to be designed for hunting.
