The following statement was released by Charlie Swanson, Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association president, in reference to the signing of HB 2504 addressing cattle theft by Gov. Mary Fallin:
"Thursday the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association (OCA) participated in a ceremonial signing with Governor Fallin of HB 2504 addressing cattle theft. This important legislation was OCA's priority legislation this past year. The legislation clearly defines that each stolen animal can be a separate criminal offense and it provides that triple the value of the animals stolen will be part of the restitution required of the thieves. We also want to thank Governor Fallin for her signature and a special thanks to Representative John Pfeiffer for authoring the bill and Senator Ron Justice and Representative Scott Biggs for their key support in moving the bill through the session. We were also honored to stand during the signing with Chief Jerry Flowers and the some of the talented investigators who work tirelessly to catch cattle rustlers. OCA is committed to strengthening and securing Oklahoma's beef cattle industry-.this is a significant accomplishment in that endeavor."
