On December 8, 2020 Crystal Mosher pleaded guilty in Calgary Provincial Court to one count under the Animal Protection Act 2(1) of causing animals to be in distress. In February 2020, Alberta SPCA Peace Officers attended a rural property in Wheatland County with a search warrant to inspect the condition of numerous animals potentially in distress. At that time, approximately 65 animals of numerous species were taken into protective custody, including horses, goats, pigs and rabbits.

As part of her sentence Crystal Mosher was fined $500, and the Alberta SPCA has the right to inspect the animals on her property without warrant. A second charge of failing to provide adequate food and water under the Animal Protection Act 2.1(a) was withdrawn.
