The animal situation is monitored quite closely in Vancouver.
Saw some animals go down during the filming of The Thirteenth Warrior.
They hauled a couple of dead horses from the Vancouver horse racing track to the Campbell River location, (Elk Bay, to be exact), and used them "creatively".

fwiw:
I met, and befriended Jack Elam's son, Scott, on that production. He was the king's herald.
Quite the life, he has lived.
