Farm Crime - Season 1 Episode 5 Black Market Butcher

A rash of animal thefts targeting the burgeoning free range farming community in Cooks Brook, Nova Scotia is punctuated by a gruesome discovery – stolen pigs butchered in a secluded area of the very farm they were taken from. Meanwhile, a neighbouring farmer grapples with a crime just as brazen – the midnight theft of a quarter of her chicken flock from a barn located a stone’s throw from her sleeping child. With the volume of stolen meat far beyond what one person could consume, the victims reach out over social media. Who could have done this? Their search for justice is met with local support and unexpected results.
