Moo-ving violations: Wayward livestock surprise Kemptville drivers Friday morning

Grenville OPP responded to some “baaad” boys and girls in downtown Kemptville on the morning of Friday, Dec. 6.

“Have you herd?,” joked in a post to X, along with a photo of two cows and one sheep along the side of the road.

Both municipality officials and police assisted in trying to keep the animals away from the road, but police advised drivers to travel with caution around the area until they were contained. Animal control was also notified.

Shortly after the initial post, police said the owners had been located and notified, and were on their way to pick up the livestock.

Police advise that owners can face a charge if their animals escape on multiple occasions, and the fine is over $400 with fees.

“That was not the case today,” police said.
