The existence of a possible connection between spin and statistics is explored within the framework of Galilean covariant field theory. To this end fields of arbitrary spin are constructed and admissible interaction terms introduced. By explicitly solving such a model in the two-particle sector it is shown that no spin and statistics connection can be established.
