In the Township of Admaston/Bromley, you may be eligible for financial compensation if your livestock is killed by a wild animal. This compensation is regulated through the Protection of Livestock and Poultry from Dogs Act and the Ontario Wildlife Damage Compensation Program. Learn more about the program and find out how you can apply.

Submit a Wildlife Claim

If your livestock or poultry are killed by a wild animal, you need to make a claim within 48 hours of discovering the dead animal.  Please call the Township office and staff will notify a Livestock Valuer.

We encourage you to take three to six photographs of the injured or killed livestock, including photos of location in relation to buildings, etc.  This will assist the Livestock Valuer in completing their assessment in case they are delayed in visiting the site or if weather is a factor.

The Livestock Valuer will investigate and provide a report (Program Application) to the Township.  The Township will review and forward the Program Application to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.  Once the payment is received by the Township, a cheque will be issued to the applicant.
