Hamilton police say they're trying to determine who might be responsible for shooting several animals with arrows on the Mountain and in the north end.

A cat and an opossum were two animals police say suffered arrow wounds in two separate incidents across Hamilton, Ont. in late April and early May. A police spokesperson says investigators are trying to determine who might be responsible.Police say a forensics team is studying several arrows connected with a pair of recent animal attacks across Hamilton, Ont.

The incidents, which happened just days apart, are eerily similar but about 12 km from each other, with one in the city’s north end and the other on the southeast Mountain. “Fern was, and still is, fighting a massive infection, from the crossbow bolt that had nicked her intestines,” McDonald said. Urban Wildlife Care custodian Cara Contardi said the marsupial was brought to East Mountain Animal Hospital by a resident from Charnwood Court who said the wounded creature had been recently frequenting her front porch.
