DAWN-EUPHEMIA TOWNSHIP, Ont. -- The Sarnia and District Humane Society says it's investigating the alleged abuse of livestock at a property in Dawn-Euphemia Township, Ont.

It says humane society officers, with the assistance of provincial police, executed a warrant Wednesday at the property in the community about 50 kilometres southeast of Sarnia.
