Police issue plea after drone user buzzes cattle

Police are asking drone pilots to be more thoughtful after an incident on farmland.

Officers say they were alerted after a drone was used to buzz a herd of cattle, panicking them into fleeing.

They say not only did that place the animals at risk, but it could have led to serious consequences for anyone on the land at the time.

In a Facebook post, they're asking operators to steer clear of agricultural land to avoid causing harm to animals or farmers.
